Yvonne, must have also come to realise that, all Ghanaian politicians are the same eventually as she as recently as last year, complained about the lack of real development in Ghana since the country attained her independence in 1957 and also tweeted that she is "looking forward to the day when Ghanaians would refuse to vote in presidential elections to send a message to politicians."
This must have informed her decision to enter into politics and be the change eventually, as she told the BBC in an interview that she "may consider running for political office in the future."
