APR 19, 2021 LISTEN

Female television icon Anita Akufo has debunked claims she is related to the first gentleman of the country, President Akufo Addo.

She expressed that her surname may be similar to that of the president but do not relate to him.

“I only know him as the president of the country and for his political career aside from that I have never met him or known him as a relative,” she told Deloris Frimpong Manso, host of the delay show.

Anita added that her tribal lineage differs from that of President Akufo Addo as she hails from Kwahu whiles he hails from the Kyebi.

This comes after several questions have been raised as to whether she is related to the president due to similarity in their surname.

In the interview, Anita clarified her relationship with afrobeats and highlife singer KiDi;

“I attended the same school, St. Anthony at Dansoman with him, he used to be active at entertainment and that was how we got to know each, nothing happened between us,” she stated.

Some throwback pictures of the two had sparked rumors that the two were old time lovers.

The Date Rush co-host added that she couldn’t recall the last time she heard from the Lynx Entertainment Signee.

During the interview, the TV hostess was pushed to share why she left her former media conglomerate EIB Network to where she works.

Reluctant initially, Anita Akufo stated that she had at some point contemplated growth in her field of work, a decision she said was part of the many factors leading to her resignation.

She revealed that money was not coming at some point, “I had to be happy, I had to grow in the business and I there was no money so I had to leave and think of other things.”

According to her she stayed at home for a while after her resignation from EIB in May 2019 until she was picked up Media General.

The former Miss Malaika and alumni of the Ghana Institute of Journalism is currently a multiple show host with the Media Generale’s TV3.
