    “I nearly killed him” – NPP’s Jennifer Queen recounts terrifying encounter

    Deputy National Communications Director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jennifer Queen Oforiwaa, has shared a harrowing incident that unfolded in the streets of Dansoman, recounting how an unknown man jumped onto her car during a fateful evening.

    Detailing the event, she said, “It was around 6:30 pm, just two weeks ago. I felt a sudden jolt as someone jumped in front of my car. If I hadn’t acted swiftly, who knows what horrors might have unfolded?”

    Expressing her fear as a politician, Jennifer remarked, “As a seasoned politician, I’m familiar with weathering storms, but nothing prepared me for the uncertainty of that moment. Had I panicked and pressed the accelerator, tragedy could have struck. They would even accuse me of manslaughter.”

    Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, she revealed that she later discovered the incident was an attempt to rob her. Thankfully, bystanders intervened, thwarting the robbery and ensuring her safety.

    Jennifer shared her story in response to a tragic accident involving pupils from Ampeah Memorial School in Nkawkaw, where three male students and a female teacher lost their lives in a fatal motor accident on the Kumasi-Accra road.

    The accident involved a Nissan Patrol vehicle, reported to be the official vehicle of the District Chief Executive for Atwima Kwanwoma in the Ashanti region, Prince Karikari.

    The incident occurred when the vehicle attempted an unauthorized U-turn while driving on the road shoulders from the Accra-Kumasi direction near Nanchia.

    Given her past experience with an accident in 2020, Jennifer urged drivers to exercise greater caution to prevent avoidable deaths on the roads.


  • Prepare yourself if you want to enter politics; we are waiting for you – Jennifer Queen to Cheddar

    Prepare yourself if you want to enter politics; we are waiting for you – Jennifer Queen to Cheddar

    A Deputy Communication Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jennifer Queen, has issued a challenge to Nana Kwame Bediako, the founder and leader of #TheNewForce, popularly known as Cheddar urging him to prepare for the challenges and scrutiny of the political arena.

    In an interview on United Television (UTV), Queen emphasized that the political landscape demands resilience and courage, and that it is not suitable for individuals deemed as cowards.

    Queen’s remarks were prompted by Cheddar’s unconventional approach to launching his presidential ambition, choosing to remain mysterious behind a mask. She questioned the rationale behind this decision and concluded that such an act signifies cowardice.

    She, thus, asserted that Cheddar should brace himself for the intricacies of the political landscape.

    “Prepare yourself if you want to enter politics; we are waiting for you,” she said.

  • Sue Bank of Ghana if you don’t understand their loss – Jennifer Queen tells Sammy Gyamfi

    Sue Bank of Ghana if you don’t understand their loss – Jennifer Queen tells Sammy Gyamfi

    Deputy Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jennifer Queen, has advised the Communications Director for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, to file a class action lawsuit against the Bank of Ghana over the loss of GH¢60.8 billion.

    The Annual Report and Financial Statement of the Bank of Ghana reveals that the institution incurred a loss of GH¢60.8 billion from its audited financial statement for the 2022 fiscal year. 

    This loss, according to the Bank of Ghana, is largely due to the government’s debt restructuring activities.

    In response, Sammy Gyamfi noted that such a colossal loss can be attributed to the Central Bank’s Directors’ “criminality and recklessness.”

    Speaking in an interview with Citi FM on Tuesday, August 8, he said the NDC will build forces together to bring sufficient pressure on “these wreckers.”

    “And we will be occupying the BoG together with the media to bring to bear sufficient pressure on these wreckers. Until they resign, they will have no peace of mind,” he added.

    Taking an opposing stance, Jennifer Queen noted that such a radical approach is not the way to go and urged for a diplomatic measure.

    In an interview on Okay FM’s Ade Kyea Bia on August 9, 2023, she said: “ if Sammy Gyamfi feels like things are not going on well and he doesn’t understand, he is a lawyer who practices democracy so there is nothing that stops him from taking the issue to court and sue the Bank of Ghana.”

    “Ignore this funny NDC Propaganda about the collapse of the Bank of Ghana (BoG). BoG is Solid!”

    “The NDC is funny! It’s not true that a recapitalization levy is to be introduced for BoG, the Central Bank hasn’t collapsed.”

    “The main source of income to the Bank is from government transactions i.e. fees on all government transfers, the bank’s investments in marketable instruments and also earnings from non-marketable holdings of the Bank.”

    “Given that government transactions have gone down, naturally, the income of the bank will go down. Also, because of the debt restructuring, earnings on their holdings on markable and non-marketable bonds will go down,” he posited. 

    He added that “Beyond this, the Bank is solid and is capable of performing its core function. Article 183 clause 2 (c) of the 1992 constitution enjoins the Bank of Ghana to promote and encourage economic development in the country, hence there is nothing untoward in the actions of the Central Bank to support the state in its economic recovery efforts.”

    Meanwhile, Sammy Gyamfi, has accused the Bank of Ghana of printing an amount of GHC80 billion for the government of Ghana.

    In an interview on Onua TV, he noted that despite the “unlawful” funding to the government, there is currently nothing to show.

    “More than 50 percent of the total revenue. They are living like there is no law. The impunity. After supplying the government over GHS80 billion, let’s ask ourselves what government used the money for,” he said,

    He noted that the amount of money printed by the Central Bank for the Akufo-Addo-led government comes nowhere close to the loans that were taken by the erstwhile Mahama government.

    “He (John Mahama) borrowed GHS54 billion. This does not even include the accumulated debt of this government,” he added.

  • It seems like NDC wants a coup – Jennifer Queen

    It seems like NDC wants a coup – Jennifer Queen

    Deputy Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jennifer Queen, has suggested that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is leaning towards the idea of toppling a democratic governance system.

    In an interview on Okay FM’s Ade Kyea Bia on August 9, 2023, she accused the NDC of instigating the youth against the government.

    “It seems like our siblings in the opposition wish that there should be a coup or something dangerous so that the youth will take over, when you listen to their line conversations, it is directed towards fear and panic stuff,” she said.

    She added: “But let me say this… countries that are experiencing coups and uncertainty… Ghana has experienced similar before, and it is our hope and prayer not to have the same experience again.”

    Jennifer Queen, who has been a victim of a military takeover, entreated the opposition party to consider diplomatic alternatives to have their concerns addressed.

    “So, what I am saying is that a coup is not something we should call for, because we have only one Ghana… so if Sammy Gyamfi feels like things are not going on well and he doesn’t understand, he is a lawyer who practices democracy so there is nothing that stops him from taking the issue to court and sue the Bank of Ghana,” she added.

    According to Jennifer, she had to sacrifice her hand during the 1981 coup in order to save the life of her sister.

    “I quite remember in 1990, my twin siblings had been born, I was carrying the junior one (Kakra) at my back, my mother was a nurse and had a tent at the Kumasi market, so, Rawlings was firing tear gas, and everyone was running helter-skelter to go and find safety elsewhere.”

    “My right hand whenever I meet you, I will show it to you, I used my hand to save my sibling Kakra, if not she would have been dead by now.

    “I had to sacrifice my hand for the trotro mate to smash it with the car door because the baby’s head was hanging outside,” she recounted.

  • A lot of them lack home training – NPP Communicator scolds persons who booed Akufo-Addo

    Patrons of the Global Citizens Festival who heckled President Akufo-Addo have been reprimanded by the ruling New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) deputy director of communications, Jennifer Queen.

    She asserted that those individuals were hired by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stir up trouble.

    “The event was to sell the country to the entire globe. So if you end up cutting parts of some videos or instigate people to hoot at the president who is our leader it speaks very bad of you. Some people want to claim that they are the doyen of wisdom and are acting smart.

    “This is becoming a norm nowadays. If a minister, vice president or government official goes to a programme you find people who go out to hoot at them. But what that tells is that a lot of these people lack home training. A lot of these people lack proper upbringing,” she said on the Monday, September 26, 2022, edition of Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia programme.

    The New Patriotic Party’s deputy director of communications added that the NDC had incited the crowd with the support of a few stubborn people in an effort to earn easy political points.

    “Despite all the benefits the state is gaining from the event, the NDC and their evil mindsets wanted it to fail. The intel gathered by our National Communication Directorate shows that they sat down to orchestrate this to outshine the beauty of the programme. I am talking about the NDC because they were the first group of people who started sharing the video,” she stated.

    Jennifer Queen, however, condemned the actions of the crowd while emphasising the success of the event, which she notes adds to the president’s commitment to pushing Ghana’s entertainment, arts and culture.

    “I will tell you that it is condemnable, it was unwarranted, it was bad behaviour from some elements who were being paid to go and do that, but in the end, the programme went on successfully,” she said.

    The booing of President Akufo-Addo has attracted several social media reactions, with some critics saying it was a reflection of frustrated Ghanaians expressing their disaffection with the president and his government.
