Afia Pokua, commonly known as Vim Lady in the media circle, has weighed in on the brouhaha surrounding Rosemond Obeng, a former aide to the New Patriotic Party’s 2024 presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and now a Presidential staffer.
According to Vim Lady, Rosemond Obeng is a classic case of political immaturity as she continues to talk down on the NPP and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Vim Lady detailed that everyone who has previously gone down this same road has wrecked their political future, citing past examples.
She noted that people who turn to cross carpet to another political party are not trusted 100 per cent.
Speaking in a viral video shared on X, Vim Lady stated, “The way you are running down your former boss, even if Dr Bawumia has not done anything; he has employed you. If you were not in the NPP, do you think the NDC would have accepted you even when you defected?
Is a classic case of political immaturity; amateurish, I say that with the greatest of respect. You are politically immature and a naïve political novice.
The NDC discovered you and asked you to defect because you were working for Dr Bawumia. The fact that you were working for him gave you political capital; no one even knew you in politics”.
She added, “This is political suicide if you don’t know; the NDC that you have joined, there is one man called Kakra Asamoah; look for him to educate you.
President Mahama has not even stood anywhere saying he is going to rescue Ghana. Do you see yourself as Kwame Nkrumah or Rawlings, madam? Slow down. Kakra Asamoah was a director of communication for the NDC; he defected from the NPP to the NDC. He was a bold voice, but since he crossed carpets, the NDC has silenced his voice because anyone who crosses carpets is not trusted 100 per cent”.
Her comments follow, Rosemond Obeng, who has defended her decision to jump ship from the NPP to the NDC.
According to Rosemond Obeng, her decision was driven by patriotism rather than personal gain, rejecting claims that she crossed over to the NDC in pursuit of political appointments or personal benefits.
Rosemond Obeng claimed that her decision was based on her desire to rescue the soul of Ghana.
Speaking in a viral video on social media on June 25, 2026, Rosemond Obeng stated, “What I did was to rescue the soul of the country. And it’s sad that some people think I did it for personal interest. It was to rescue the soul of this country, and I say this with so much passion. I am NDC now, and I will continue to stay with the umbrella until I die.
“What happened was nothing cosmetic. I didn’t cut any deal with anybody. I just spoke my truth. I never imagined there would be a time I would be rewarded with an opportunity to serve or be part of an NDC administration. It never came to mind,” she said.
“I just did that to speak my truth. I did not know what would happen, but it was important to let people know that there was something seriously wrong with leaving the destiny of this country in the hands of the NPP and my former boss. There was everything wrong with that,” she noted.
“Do I have any regrets? If I’m sad about anything, it’s the fact that my actions were driven by good faith, yet some people see me as a betrayer, a snitch and many other things. But that is far from the truth,” she said.
Rosemond Obeng added, “Let me also correct a misconception. I had resigned from working with him long before the elections. I had been away for several months. It was important for me to come out publicly because people needed to know that I was no longer with the NPP,” she stated.
“Most importantly, I wanted Ghanaians to understand that if they entrusted the country’s future to the NPP, we would all regret it. That is why I spoke out. People ask whether it was because of the election. No. I was already with the NDC and working with the NDC, but after being away for so many months, it was important to provide that clarity,” she added.
