The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has issued a public apology following widespread backlash over a cash donation he made to former fetish priestess-turned-evangelist, Patricia Oduro Koranteng, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.

The apology comes after a video surfaced on social media showing Mr. Gyamfi handing over dollars to Nana Agradaa during an event. The gesture sparked criticism from members of the public and political supporters, many of whom expressed disappointment over his association with the controversial figure.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, May 11, Mr. Gyamfi described the donation as a “private act of kindness” and admitted he had not anticipated it becoming public. He called the situation “unfortunate and regrettable” and extended a heartfelt apology to those offended by his actions.

“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 wrote.

“To all such comrades, I am sincerely sorry for this unfortunate act of indiscretion. I respect and appreciate your views.”

Mr. Gyamfi also clarified that the gesture was not politically motivated but rather in line with his personal values of helping those in need.

He reaffirmed his commitment to public service, stating, “My view of public office as a privilege to serve society, solve problems, and help others has not changed. I remain focused on the task entrusted to me by His Excellency, the President, for the development of our country.”

He thanked those who had offered counsel and support, and wished all mothers a happy Mother’s Day.

Read below the full statement by Sammy Gyamfi

Folks, I have taken notice of the wave of criticisms against my person in the last 24 hours.

To clarify, this was simply a kind gesture to a fellow human being, in line with my daily and life-long custom of lending a helping hand to people in need.

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. That is unfortunate and regrettable.

I must say that, I understand the uproar that this gesture has generated, particularly from comrades who are sincerely hurt by same. To all such comrades, I AM SINCERELY SORRY for this unfortunate act of indiscretion. I respect and appreciate your views.

My profound appreciation goes to all those who have reached out to counsel and encourage me. I’m most grateful for your solidarity.

Let me state however, that my view of public office as a privilege to serve society, solve problems and help others, has not changed.

I remain focused on the task entrusted to me by His Excellency, the President for the development of our country.

Stay blessed and have a blissful Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out here.
