"You know all of them and you know their homes�I made sure that I visit them all the time, I talk to them, I communicate with them a lot," said an elated Akuoko She said neither Zita nor any of the other two contestants had any complaints. �Everything went on smoothly, it was clear and transparent, we all accepted [the results]�.
