President John Mahama and Elle Ama
Ellen Ama Ofosuaa Daaku, a member of the Communications Team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has warned President John Dramani Mahama, calling for the dismissal of the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, following a viral video in which Gyamfi is seen handing out US dollars to a repentant priest, Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Oduro Koranteng, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.
According to her, she perceives Gyamfi’s action as a breach of the NDC’s newly launched Code of Conduct.
“Just last week, Mahama launched the NDC’s Code of Conduct. And for you, Sammy [Gyamfi], everyone in this country knows you are Mahama’s favorite. Not just his favorite, you’ve actually worked hard for that position,” she said while speaking in an interview on Angel TV on May 13, 2025.
However, Daaku warned that Sammy Gyamfi risked being made a scapegoat.
“If Sammy Gyamfi doesn’t take care, he’ll be used as a scapegoat… because barely two weeks after launching the Code of Conduct, this is happening,” she added, without specifying the offense.
Drawing a comparison to past disciplinary actions within the NDC, Daaku referenced Victoria Hammah, a former Deputy Minister, who was dismissed during Mahama’s first term after a leaked recording suggested she would quit politics if she had access to $1 million.
“There was a lady called Victoria Hammah who said that if she had $1 million, she would stop politics. She was sacked, and to this day, she hasn’t recovered from the incident. Unlike Sammy Gyamfi, who now has the dollars and is allegedly dashing them out,” Daaku alleged.
She added, “If Mahama doesn’t sack Sammy Gyamfi, I, Ama, am ready. By next week, if we come and Sammy Gyamfi is still at post, he will have me to contend with.”
Fantastic submission 👌
