"Reflecting on my past attempt, I believe it's like the Black Stars participating in a World Cup or a presidential candidate running for office. They keep trying even if they don't win initially. My unsuccessful attempt doesn't mean I should give up," she stated.

Afua noted that her first attempt in December 2023 was rushed with only two weeks of preparation. This time, she plans to utilize several months to prepare thoroughly to ensure success and make Ghana proud, regardless of the outcome.
