Speaking on TV3 she described the hierarchical structure within Ghanaian politics, particularly focusing on the roles and responsibilities of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo.According to her while Bawumia holds the position of vice president, it is Akufo-Addo who has been elected by the Ghanaian populace to make crucial decisions for the nation and not the former.

She added that Ghanaians have entrusted Akufo-Addo with the authority to lead and make executive decisions, emphasizing that Bawumia's role is supportive rather than authoritative. "Alhaji Bawumia is vice president he is not the president Akufo-Addo. Ghanaians voted for Akufo-Addo to take certain decisions, we did not vote for Alhaji Bawumia, we are yet to  vote for him.

"Until we vote for Bawumia to be president when there's a sitting president by God's grace is not dead and is taking his decisions you do not come and ask where Bawumia is, when his boss is there and he is working. Fortunately Alhaji Bawumia is a type of person who doesn't undermine his leaders. That is why he is vice president and he is behaving as one," she added.

However according to Scott Bolshevik contemporary politics is now characterized by a significant dominance of partisanship, which tends to overshadow core principles and values."Women empowerment but yet they portray utter ignorance when given power. Partisanship in politics has shifted the focus to affiliations rather than principles, dividing issues into left or right rather than determining what is right or wrong," he added.
