Don’t forgive Akufo-Addo for insulting your chief – Sammy Gyamfi tells Ewes

Akufo-Addo

The Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi says Ewes must not forgive president Nana Akufo-Addo over his ‘cocky’ response to the paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional area, Torgbui Adzonugaga Amenya Fiti.

The top NDC member believed that the president has greatly insulted Torgbui Fiti who was only demanding that the E-block in his area be opened for use.

Outspoken Sammy Gyamfi termed the response from the president as ‘reprehensible, cocky, cheeky and condemnable’.

Recalled, the chief had given the government a four-month ultimatum to open the e-block community day senior high school which has stalled since 2016.

“After senior high school education, the next degree that my people have to do is to go to border and go and do kayayo, no school.

“The only school that we have is the RC Senior High School that belongs to the Catholic Mission Minor Seminary. So this thick population has no place to go and people sit down in that big hall called parliament and not thinking about Aflao, a place after the Tema Harbour , the next revenue generation is from the Aflao border.

“I had to push the former President Mahama for the structure to be constructed over there. I had to be running from here to Accra begging.

“Should we beg for education?”

However, President Akufo-Addo questioned why the chief would give government an ultimatum.

According to him most of the E-block projects started by the Mahama administration have been completed by his government while others are at various stages of completion.

“Many of the E-blocks are being worked on across the country.

“Is he [Aflao Chief] the one to give the minister ultimatum then he should go ahead and complete the project,” the President said.
