Businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye has publicly expressed readiness to resolve lingering disputes with his ex-wife Joana Quaye, marking a notable shift in tone in the long-running and highly publicised fallout from their divorce.
Appearing on The Delay Show with host Deloris Frimpong Manso, the President of RNAQ Holdings stepped away from his typically guarded corporate persona to address the personal turmoil surrounding his separation from Joana Quaye.
A Shift from Conflict To Conciliation
In what many observers see as a strategic and emotional pivot, RNAQ extended what he described as an “olive branch,” indicating his willingness to settle outstanding issues outside of prolonged public confrontation.
Framing the matter beyond legal battles, he emphasised the need to restore peace between himself and his former spouse, particularly for the sake of their children.
He stressed that despite their separation, their shared responsibility as parents must take precedence over conflict and public scrutiny.
According to him, the goal is to bring closure to the dispute and shield the family from ongoing media attention that has followed the breakdown of their marriage.
Dismissing Social Media Narratives
A central theme of the interview was RNAQ’s rejection of widespread narratives circulating online. He claimed that nearly all the rumours surrounding the divorce about finances, personal conduct, and family dynamics—are either exaggerated or entirely false.
He cautioned the public against accepting viral claims without scrutiny, arguing that misinformation has significantly distorted the reality of the situation.
His remarks come amid intense online debate, where competing accounts from both sides and commentary from public figures have kept the issue trending across platforms.
“Parasites”
In a controversial assertion, RNAQ attributed the breakdown of the marriage not to irreconcilable differences between himself and his ex-wife, but to what he described as the influence of external actors.
He characterised these individuals as opportunists who, drawn by his wealth and success, allegedly interfered in the relationship and contributed to its eventual collapse.
Appeal To Personal Values And Responsibility
In a reflective moment during the interview, RNAQ pointed to his reputation for generosity and philanthropy, arguing that such values should extend naturally to the mother of his children.
He suggested that resolving the dispute amicably is not merely a legal necessity but a moral and logical step, particularly given their shared history and parental responsibilities.
By framing reconciliation as a matter of character rather than obligation, RNAQ appeared to be repositioning himself publicly—from a litigant in a contentious divorce to a father seeking stability for his family.
