Yvonne Nelson Reveals Identity Of Biological Father, Mentions Ex-Speaker Of Parliament
In her autobiography, famous actress Yvonne Nelson revealed that deceased New Patriotic Party (NPP) member Peter Ala Adjetey is her biological father.
A chapter in the book “I’m Not Yvonne Nelson” shocked readers since it detailed the movie producer’s traumatic experience with her allegedly absent father.
Yvonne Nelson has previously complained bitterly about the fact that she never met her biological father.
Peter Ala Adjetey served as the Deputy Speaker of the Fourth Parliament of the Republic of Ghana. He succeeded Justice D.F. Annan in the role.
He is held up as an example of leadership and integrity in Ghana’s parliament. He was the NPP’s chairman before being elected Speaker of Parliament. In July 2008, he passed away.
In her fascinating book, Yvonne Nelson said that it took her almost five years to start looking into the truth about who her biological father was after her mother, Margaret Gaddy, told her.
“The encouragement and advice of former President Kufuor had calmed and lulled me into thinking I could forget about the shocking revelation from my mother and move on with my life. However, the urge to know who my father truly was became an unavoidable, perennial visitor to my mind. Whenever it came around, it took hold of my being and made me restless. It filled me with doubts and questions that needed to be put to rest. What often stood out on those occasions was the question about whether my mother could lie to me again. What motivation would she have to tell me about a second man being my father if it wasn’t true?” part of the book reads.
After hearing that the late, revered Speaker of Parliament, Peter Ala Adjetey, was rumoured to be her biological father, Yvonne Nelson said she contacted Kiki Banson to get Peter Ala Adjetey’s firstborn child, Gabby Adjetey’s, phone number.
“I knew he will have Gabby’s contact because Kiki was (and still is) a big name and well-connected figure in Ghana’s entertainment industry. Gabby Adjetey, who is now in London, once worked with Joy FM, so I was certain Kiki would have his number. Kiki expressed his shock when I told him the story and why I needed Gabby’s number. I, however, told him it was classified information, and he promised to keep it as such.
“Two days after getting his number, I set up a video call with Gabby. At that point, I had become conscious of the never-ending drama, so I decided to document my search. I set up a camera and recorded myself making the call in what was to be my first encounter with my real father’s child. I didn’t have to struggle to introduce myself because Gabby knew who I was. What he did not know and would not have imagined was what I was about to tell him, that 1 was his sister.
She claims she told the prominent NPP leader from the beginning that all she wanted was to learn who her biological father was. A DNA test was what finally convinced the actress to stop second-guessing herself. The DNA results confirmed that she was Peter Ala Adjetey’s biological daughter.
