Veteran Ghanaian actress and TV personality Grace Omaboe, widely known as Maame Dokono, has addressed persistent rumors regarding her past and any alleged romantic relationship with the late former President Jerry John Rawlings.

During an event at Silverbird Cinemas in Accra on July 30, 2024, the star of ‘By the Fireside’ firmly refuted claims that she was romantically involved with President Rawlings.

“There’s been talk about me being his girlfriend. Who is spreading these stories? I was never in any such relationship with him,” she stated.

Maame Dokono also shared insights into her political experiences, revealing that it was Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings who initially brought her into politics.

She described the hardships she faced due to her political involvement, stating, “Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings was the one who introduced me to politics. I joined both major parties and experienced significant challenges when my party did not win. It was tough, so I eventually decided to step away from politics.”

The event also served to celebrate Maame Dokono’s 80th birthday and her 60-year contribution to the Ghanaian film industry.

During the celebration, she announced that her new book, set to be released on August 7, 2024, will delve into various facets of her life, including her experiences with C-sections while delivering her six children, her political journey with Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, and her extensive career in the movie industry.
