Speaking on Atinka TV’s morning show, Ghana Nie with Abena Dufie, Emmanuella Akweley Martey thanked God for her feat and also thanked the organisers of the show, Atinka Media Village (AMV) for believing in her craft.
Mother of Emmanuella Akweley Martey, Mrs Erica Boakye said she did not think her child would win because she knew despite voting and her girl’s performance, others were also very good.
According to her, she was nervous until the last stage when her daughter’s name was mentioned.
At the interview, Mrs Erica Boakye had lost her voice because she screamed so hard to celebrate her daughter’s win.
She said when she was young, she wanted to be an Actress but her parents could not give her the support and so when she realised her daughter had the potential, she decided to support her with whatever she can to push her to a higher pedestal.
She also thanked God, all Ghanaians, especially those who voted for her daughter, her school, Mepp Academy, Dansoman, her family for their support and also thanked Atinka Media Village for the show.
