I Was Scared Ghanaians Would Forget Me After My Tenure Ended –  Former French Ambassador to Ghana

Anne-Sophie Avé, the former French Ambassador to Ghana, has revealed she was scared Ghanaians would forget her once she completed her tenure in office and left the country.

According to her,  the love she received from Ghanaians while she was in the country to perform her duties as an ambassador was overwhelming. Anne-Sophie divulged that she enjoyed the love and warmth she received so much that she got scared that she would be forgotten after her tenure of office ended.

The popular ambassador who was usually seen at events such as awards ceremonies, state programs amongst others, made it known that leaving the country  was a devastating time for her as she enjoyed the music, culture and tradition.

In her own words, “It was devastating. I enjoyed the music, the culture, the tradition and everything. You don’t need to be an ambassador to carry on enjoying it. I was maybe afraid of being out of sight and maybe they’ll forget me.”

The Ambassador further disclosed that  she still receives massive love from Ghanaians, adding that there is not even a single week where she does not receive messages or phone calls from Ghanaians. She revealed that when she fell ill at the beginning of the year, most of the people who called to check up on her were Ghanaians and that alone blew the minds of her family and friends.

”I was baffled when I realised that there hasn’t been a single week since I left when I didn’t have messages or phone calls from people who were checking up. Most of the people who were checking up on me at the beginning of the year were Ghanaians. My family could hardly believe it, ” she noted.
