“I had no intention of bringing his good image into any public disrepute,” the singer explained.

However, she received backlash over her outfit after the picture went viral.

Meanwhile, the National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku, in a Facebook post expressed displeasure over the attention the photo drew to the YEA.
He tasked management of the Authority to ensure ambassadors stick to the highest level of professionalism when paying courtesy calls.
Following the incident, the YEA has also come under criticism for choosing Wendy Shay as an ambassador especially after knowing how she dresses.
However, CEO of the Authority, Justin Kodua Frimpong, believes the aim of his outfit is to get a lot of youth involved in the programme and not discriminate against people who adore the singer.
“The whole thing is to get many young people who are well known to push for the programme and get a lot of people engaged,” he stated.
Mr Frimpong added, the YEA accepts Wendy Shay’s apology in good faith.
“We are all young, and as we are learning, we are bound to make certain mistakes,” he added.
