Expressing the integral role his wife has played in promoting Ghana, Afua Asantewaa’s husband advocates for her recognition. He suggests the establishment of a space dedicated to her, proposing names like “Asantewaa’s stage” or “Asantewaa’s corner” within the Akwaaba Village.

“Akwaaba Village is a perfect name, but I think it is high time we honoured my wife, Asantewaa. They should give her a space, maybe Asantewaa’s stage or Asantewaa’s corner.” he said

This recommendation stems from the belief that honoring her contributions would attract visitors curious about the historic event that garnered global attention.

Anticipating the potential of such a dedicated space, he envisions it as a tourist site, expecting people who witnessed the event on television to visit and learn about Asantewaa’s performance in Accra.

While acknowledging the appeal as personal, he underscores its broader significance, emphasizing its consideration as a fitting tribute.

The plea arises in the aftermath of the Guinness World Records’ announcement declaring Afua Asantewaa’s attempt to set a new world record for the longest singing marathon by an individual as unsuccessful. Despite this outcome, the call for recognition and commemoration stands as a testament to the impact and significance of her efforts.

Ameku Angela Akorfa stated:

“It’s unfortunate to hear that Afua Asantewaa didn’t break the longest singing marathon record, but it’s great to see Guinness World Records acknowledging her efforts and encouraging her to try again. Wishing her the best of luck for her future attempts.”

Docia Mayenhyira Dougan Asare reacted:

“That Singathon was a real festival. I was amazed at what I saw, that was how come I decided to stay through the night and cooked my jollof.” 

Kojo Georges commented:

“She failed , she failed ! It’s a history , and we’ll always remember her attempt, that’s all”

Afua Asantewaa breaks silence

Afua Asantewaa had thanked her fans for their support earlier. Taking to social media, she said she would announce her next line of action following her unsuccessful record attempt.

“I would announce my next line of action in a few days. When life hands you lemons, turn them into lemonade. Success is sweetest when snatched out of the jaws of defeat,” she wrote in a post.
