National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has insisted the tagging of President Akufo Addo and his appointees as ‘sakawa’ boys is justified in any means.
This comes after former president John Dramani Mahama shared a post by Isaac Adongo describing the president and his ministers as ‘Akyem Sakawa Boys’.
Expressing his disgust at the comment, President Akufo Addo said “sometimes, one would hope when things come out, people will comment on them. The comment made by my opponent: ‘Akyem Sakawa’ people, I have not heard any public figure in this country or anybody comment on it.”
Speaking on Neat FM’s Me Man Nti programme, Sammy Gyamfi backed the NDC flagbearer for sharing the post and insisted that those benefitting from the Agyapa Royalties deal are the families and friends of the president.
To him , if you’re caught in an attempt to loot the country’s gold royalties, you deserve to be called a sakawa boy.
