I will change the official language from English to Twi, if you make me the President—Akua Donkor
Akua Donkor, the flagbearer of Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) has expressed intention to make twi the official language in Ghana if the citizenry vote for her to be the President of the Country.
According to her, Ghana has abandoned their mother tongue for a foreign one which she frowns upon.
Speaking in a media interview on Friday, the GFP founder and leader regretted that the Country was currently operating in English and expressed commitment to change the official language from English to twi if she is given the nod coming December 7.
She said the judiciary will no longer hold cases in English but in twi for accusers who are unable to express their thoughts and communication ability in English would feel at ease.

She noted that English has done lots of harm than good to some people in the country, explaining that some people have lost cases and others are sidelined due to their inability to communicate in English.

“I am not worried I cannot speak English, because that is not my language and if you believe Ghana should operate in Twi to give a facelift to our local dialect then vote for GFP for such change, ” she said.
In addition, Madam Donkor promised to ensure a free port system for the citizenry and urged them to vote for her to make the necessary amendments and policies that would make Ghana sail in the right streams of power.
