US-based Ghanaian chef, Sweet Adjeley has revealed that she would “love” to see former President John Mahama back in the Golden Jubilee House.
Her reason was simple: road infrastructure.
“Geez!” she exclaimed appearing to appreciate the weight of the question of who she would want to win power in Ghana come December.
“I’d love that [President Mahama returns],” Sweet Adjeley finally responded.
She intimated President Nana Akuffo-Addo was doing a terrible job at maintaining the roads constructed before he assumed power in 2016.
“Look, growing up in Ghana our roads have never been this bad. Take the Barrier [towards] Tema [and] going. Nungua Barrier, for instance. That’s where I live.
“From this place [Labone] to my house, it used to [take] 20 minutes [but] now [it is] over an hour. They’ve been fixing that road for years. It’s an embarrassment.”

“The first time I came to Ghana when he [Mahama] was president, I was impressed,” the award-winning YouTuber said.
She clarified that she did not have any personal relationship with the former president and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), nor was she under the influence of money.
The New Jersey-based medical officer stressed: “But growing up in Ghana, the regular roads were good [while] the side roads have always been bad. But now there’s like a swimming pool in the middle of the road when it rains.”
“I get anxiety when I am on the road and it wasn’t like that for me before,” the celebrity chef bemoaned.
Ghana will decide on a president, his vice, and representatives in parliament come December 7.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer former President John Dramani Mahama seeks a second term with Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as his vice presidential candidate.
Meanwhile, the Vice President, Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, seeks to keep the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in power, with the Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, as his choice for a vice president.
Celebrity Chef Hopes Kamala Wins the US Presidency
Citing US Vice President Kamala Harris, Sweet Adjeley challenged the notion that “a woman’s place is in the home”.
She seemed confident about Harris’ victory in November: “Yes, because some of us are voting for her. That’s it.”
“I don’t know if it’s just Ghana or if it’s an African thing that a woman’s place is in the home and in the kitchen and all that,” Sweet Adjeley wondered, projecting: “Look, Kamala Harris may become the first woman president. What is she doing there? It’s all part of.”
On her reasons for supporting Harris, Sweet Adjeley stated that because she is a woman.
“Number one, she’s a woman, she’s a Black woman. And I think the US will be more peaceful with her rather than the other person as our president. If we women, if we put our jealousy of each other aside and we say she’s winning, she’s winning.”

She expressed hope Kamala Harris could manage competing powers and troubling concerns on the geopolitics landscape: “Yes, I believe so.”
Sweet Adjeley asserted before Biden won the presidency, immigrants were agitated and felt unsafe.
“Because when this other person was president, my children’s lives were miserable in school. Even kids were telling my kids, oh, if he becomes president, you go back to your country. Well, it didn’t happen. My kids are Americans. They were born there.
“So they’re not going anywhere. They can throw me back here to Ghana, but my kids… But for children to even feel the tension, it got to a point where when you see somebody, you just begin to think, is this person going to harm me?”

“The place became scary, but we’ve had four years of calm, quiet [with Biden]. Yes, in my opinion,” the award-winning chef contrasted.
She observed Joe Biden had done some things that she didn’t like, adding that nobody’s perfect.
Marklina Naa Adjeley Quaye, also known as Sweet Adjeley, noted there is a huge possibility Donald J. Trump would return to the White House.
“So it scares me to think that we’re going to have this person back. It scares me, but hey, the majority carries the vote,” she added.
In November, America goes to the polls to choose between former President and Republican lead Donald Trump, and pending an official announcement from the Democrats, current Vice President Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden has rescinded his decision to run for a second term.
