Actresses Lydia Forson and Naa Ashorkor Mensah-Doku have finally made a public reaction to the weeklong misconception created by fellow actress, Jackie Appiah about the winner (or winners) of the Best Actress In Lead Role Award at the just ended African Movie Academy Award (AMAA).

According to them, even though they see the deliberate attempt by some people to discredit them of the hard-won award, they would rather leave everything to God than jump over the roof.

Lydia and Naa's management headed by Habiba Nelson, on Wednesday told NEWS-ONE that the two actresses are not perturbed about what Jackie has gone to tell any media house.

“We are not bothered about everything that happened,” she simply said, adding however that the truth can never be submerged by any man, and hoped the good within the entertainment fraternity would be the better judges over the sad development.

Habiba, sounding very composed over what people see as 'Jackie's gaff', said she would rather let sleeping dogs lie. To her, the most important thing is that AMAA had come out to clear the air.

“The truth always speaks for itself. Three people won. My clients, Miss Forson and Miss Mensah Doku are happy and we are grateful to God for winning. That's all that matters to us,” she added.

It is recalled that at the historic AMA Awards in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, Saturday April 10, three people were named as winners for their lead role in Sparrow Production's Perfect Picture.

However hours after the team returned to Ghana, Jackie quickly rushed to a section of the Ghanaian media, including a state-owned print media house, and granted interviews implying that she singlehandedly won the award. She repeated the claims even on television.

Her action has incurred the wrath of observers, many of who think that she was not only sounding selfish and individualist, but also misleading.

Birds have indeed whispered to News-One that the AMAA organizers intimated during the awards that the controversial award was made possible through the invaluable acting prowess of Lydia and Naa in the Perfect Picture Movie.

AMAA representatives in Ghana had to come out to clear the mess, through a prompt press statement.

The statement, dated 20th April, 2010, categorically gave out Ghana's six award specifications as follows:

AMAA achievement in sound- I sing of a well AMAA achievement in costume- I sing of a well (Mabel Germain)

Best original soundtrack - (Adablah) Best performance by an actor in a supporting role- Adjetey Annang

Best performance by an actress in a leading role – Naa Ashorkor Mensah Doku, Lydia Forson and Jackie Appiah

Best director – Shirley Frimpong Manso Ghana also got the most coveted awards of the jury award for Best Movie by I sing of a well and a lifetime achievement award to King Ampaw.

Ms. Judith Oluwole Kuwornu, AMAA representative in Ghana, told this paper that only one plaque was presented that day at the event because the jury released the names of the winners to the committee just 20 minutes to the commencement of the event, for which reason it was impossible to instantly do other plaques.
