The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board and National Communications Officer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has issued a public apology following backlash over a gesture that found its way into the public domain.
His statement, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, May 11, 2025, comes after a viral video surfaced on social media showing the Hon. CEO publicly gifting a large sum of U.S. dollars to Evangelist Patricia Asiedu, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.
The footage generated widespread reactions and divided opinion among the Ghanaian public, including many within his own party.
“I sincerely thought that I was doing this act of kindness in private, and never imagined that same could find its way into the public space. That is unfortunate and regrettable,”
Sammy Gyamfi
Mr. Gyamfi described the gesture as a “kind gesture to a fellow human being,” and insisted that it was in line with his lifelong commitment to helping people in need.
“I understand the uproar that this gesture has generated, particularly from comrades who are sincerely hurt by same. To all such comrades, I AM SINCERELY SORRY for this unfortunate act of indiscretion. I respect and appreciate your views.”
Sammy Gyamfi also expressed gratitude to those who reached out privately to counsel and support him.
“My profound appreciation goes to all those who have reached out to counsel and encourage me. I’m most grateful for your solidarity.”
Despite the controversy, the NDC communications chief reaffirmed his values and dedication to his public duties.
“My view of public office as a privilege to serve society, solve problems and help others has not changed. I remain focused on the task entrusted to me by His Excellency, the President, for the development of our country.”
He concluded with good wishes for Mother’s Day and a call for reflection.
