Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko (L) and KOD (R)
New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has shared his opinion on President John Dramani Mahama‘s appointment of a new Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President.
In a Facebook post on February 27, 2025, Gabby Otchere-Darko sarcastically congratulated Kofi Okyere-Darko, popularly known as KOD, on his appointment as the Director of Diaspora Affairs.
He referred to KOD’s appointment as a case of nepotism, implying it was a “family and friends” affair.
“Ah! An Okyere-Darko? This must be family and friends! Congrats, my junior bro,” he wrote.
KOD is an entertainment entrepreneur and fashion icon who gained prominence as a radio and television presenter, becoming one of the most recognizable voices and faces in Ghanaian media.
He has worked with prominent media outlets such as Live FM, E TV Ghana, and GhOne, where he hosted popular shows and became a household name.
Beyond his media career, KOD is celebrated as a fashion icon, known for his bold and unique style that blends traditional African prints with contemporary designs.
He is also a successful entrepreneur, having founded Rhythms on Da Runway, an annual fashion show that celebrates African creativity and showcases the continent’s vibrant fashion industry.
KOD will take over from Akwasi Awua Ababio as the Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President.
The Diaspora Affairs Office was established in February 2017 to strengthen ties with Ghanaians living abroad and harness their contributions to national development.
The office is responsible for promoting the interests of the diaspora, exploring ways they can contribute to Ghana’s socio-economic growth, and raising awareness about the challenges of irregular migration.
