hehe, so I saw the news come through the news feed here but didn't know who Diana Hopeson was. In fact, the Fantes go kill we o. Hopeson?

Congrats to her though, she's really been active in many endeavours over the years. She was involved in the Stop Aids, Love Life campaign together with Shasha Marley, Gyedu Blay Ambulley and Stella Seal. She was also prominent in the peace campaign that was waged a couple of years ago after the conflicts in the North, as well as the campaign against indiscipline. What's left for her to do is to make up a song to cheer on the Black Stars like Grace Ashy. More props to her.

Realised there was some controversy concerning Gyedu Blay Ambulley not being allowed to run but I hope that has been sorted out because Diana is definitely a worthy winner.

Full profile for Diana Akiwumi coming up soon
