Sammy Gyamfi gifts $800 to Agradaa

A viral video showing Sammy Gyamfi, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), handing over an alleged $1,000 in cash to former fetish priestess turned evangelist, Patricia Oduro Koranteng, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has triggered widespread criticism and internal uproar within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The footage, which surfaced on social media on Saturday, captures a brief roadside interaction between Mr. Gyamfi and Nana Agradaa.

In the video, Agradaa is heard requesting some dollar notes from the acting CEO’s vehicle. Moments later, Mr. Gyamfi is seen counting what appears to be several bundles of U.S. currency, which Agradaa snatches playfully before turning to flaunt the money in front of nearby bystanders.

Some NDC grassroots activists and supporters took to social media to express disappointment, questioning the judgment of Sammy Gymafi.
