The Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, has issued a formal apology after facing public criticism for gifting US dollars to Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess now turned evangelist, during a recent event.
The apology follows the circulation of a viral video on social media showing Mr. Gyamfi handing over the cash to Patricia Oduro Koranteng, widely known as Nana Agradaa. The incident sparked disapproval from the public and political circles, with many questioning his association with the controversial figure.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, May 11, Mr. Gyamfi called the gesture a “private act of kindness” and admitted he did not expect it to become public. He described the situation as “unfortunate and regrettable” and apologized to anyone offended, particularly his political colleagues.
“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,” he stated.
He emphasized that the donation was not politically driven but rather consistent with his personal values of helping the needy. Mr. Gyamfi reaffirmed his dedication to public service and thanked those who had reached out with advice and support.
Concluding his statement, he extended Mother’s Day wishes to all mothers and reassured the public of his continued focus on national development duties entrusted to him by the President.
