Consider the effect on your wife and the country’s security of political mileage – Vim Lady to Hopeson Adorye

Afia Pokua, better known as “Vim Lady”

Ghanaian media personality, Afia Pokua popularly known as Vim Lady has offered advice to Hopeson Adorye following her recent remarks following her release.

Adorye had previously boasted of the political impact achieved through his arrest and release, suggesting it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In a Facebook live video session with his wife, Empress Gifty, the politician described his arrest as a blessing in disguise, demanding wide attention from around the world.

However, Vim Lady disagrees with his sentiments, citing potential negative implications for his family, particularly his wife, gospel musician Empress Gifty, and the country as a whole.

“Hopeson, please think next time about the security of the nation and even the emotional effect on your wife because of the political mileage you will get,” she urged.

Although some netizens encouraged Adorye’s bold statements during the live video, his wife called for restraint, advising him to let the situation rest.

“Don’t fire them, please. This situation is not easy. If you are not lucky enough to have a strong and godly partner by your side, the person may drop dead. They would not be able to handle it,” Empress Gifty expressed.

In response to Adorye’s intention to “fire” her critics, Vim Lady echoed Gifty’s plea, emphasizing the importance of heeding her wife’s advice.

“Listen to your wife,” she reiterated. “That’s why I thought the arrest was unnecessary despite the fact that his comment was extreme. The arrest increased Hopeson’s political capital to do even more damage.”
