Media personality and entertainment pundit, Nana Frimpong Ziega, has called for a thorough explanation regarding the GH\u00a220,000 gift presented to Guinness World Record contender, Afua Asantewaa, during her sing-a-thon attempt. <\/p>\n In a discussion on United Showbiz shared on March 16, 2025, Nana Frimpong Ziega emphasised that her statement that claimed that the only gift she received from former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was a sore throat medicine was disrespectful and tarnished the image of the former vice president. <\/p>\n He referred to Afua Asantewaa as an ungrateful person. <\/p>\n “Everything that was facilitated after her attempt was done by Dr. Bawumia… She should have even mentioned her trip to Royal Senchi to Nana Romeo during her interview. To limit all the good things Bawumia did for her to only a sore throat medicine was disrespectful and a disgrace to him,” he said. <\/p>\n Nana Frimpong Ziega also called for Afua Asantewaa’s husband and father to give a full account of who received the money and the other gifts presented to them during the sing-a-thon. <\/p>\n “Can she tell us that her husband didn\u2019t inform her that the former vice president gave them something? I think we need to call her husband and question him. The reason why sometimes the youth find it difficult to get help from prominent people in the country is because of actions like this. Look at the mileage she got from the vice president yet, see how she has tarnished his image,” he added. <\/p>\n Background<\/b> <\/p>\n Afua Asantewaa, in an earlier interview with Nana Romeo, claimed that during her first sing-a-thon attempt, the only assistance she received from the previous government was medication to cure her sore throat. She stated that, contrary to claims of receiving cash donations and items from former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, she had not received anything of the sort. <\/p>\n This led to a response from Salam Mustapha, the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who disputed Afua Asantewaa\u2019s claim in a Facebook post. Salam Mustapha stated that he personally handed over GH\u00a220,000 to Afua\u2019s husband and father on behalf of the former Vice President. <\/p>\n Watch the video below:<\/b> <\/p>\n Afua Asantewaa Aduonum’s husband and father must be questioned about the gift allegations – Nana Frimpong Ziga#UnitedShowbiz<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/DxDdsInZgH<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UTV Ghana (@utvghana) March 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can also watch videos from the unveiling of the 2025 TGMA nominees on GhanaWeb TV below:<\/b> <\/p>\n![\"Media](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/753\/75387306.295.jpg\" "\\"Media")
