Controversial media person, Afia Schwarzenegger has said she does not have intentions of going into politics.
Afia who is known to be outspoken and usually calls authorities out on issues noted that she does not have the patience to do what politicians go through.
She was a guest on Citi TV’s Upside Down and during the discussion, she was asked if she has intentions of going into polictics.
“I am too impatient to do politics,” she replied.
Giving her reason why, she the hosts Frema Adunyame and Ato Kwamina that, “a lot of people go into politics already established but because of politics some twat will use a Chinese phone and call you a thief. So, I don’t have any interest in politics but I am into women empowerment and so I am throwing my support behind Prof (John Mahama’s running mate).”
She also said because she cannot gunner for votes, if she is offered an appointment, however, she will honour it.
“I will accept a political appointment. It’s just like being called to be a caretaker. That, I would accept” adding that she dwells on her late uncle’s advice to fear delegates.
She further disclosed that she has never stood for the position of even a class prefect and so begging people to vote her into office is not something she can do.
“I don’t want to be at the mercy of anybody. I do not want to stress myself begging for votes,” she said.
