President John Dramani Mahama and Coach Opeele
Ghanaian coach Isaac Opeele Boateng has cautioned President John Dramani Mahama against dismissing the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, regarding a cash gift controversy.
In a video shared on social media platform X, Gyamfi is seen standing beside his Range Rover, taking a photo with Nana Agradaa, who had her arm around him.
Agradaa is then heard making a comment to Sammy Gyamfi, prompting him to open the back door of the vehicle and sit down to count several US dollar notes.
She demanded all the notes and grabbed them from his hands, then walked away.
In reaction to this, there has been vehement backlash on social media with some concerned people calling for Gyamfi’s dismissal; however, Coach Opeele disagrees.
He argued that the Ghana Gold Board acting CEO is permitted to give gifts and that is not a crime per the regulations governing government appointees.
Coach Opeele advised President Mahama to reject calls to sack Gyamfi, which he described as “useless propaganda” aimed at showing he is a firm leader.
“The ‘Sack Sammy Gyamfi’ campaign is the most useless propaganda. Prez Mahama must not fall for it. No way Nana Addo would pay heed to such calls. If Mahama falls for this, I will see his leadership as weak and incomparable to Nana Addo. No political system is perfect. Gift isn’t a crime,” he wrote on X.
