Paul Adom Otchere and Sammy Gyamfi
Veteran broadcaster Paul Adom-Otchere has advised footsoldiers of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to reach out to their embattled National Communications Officer, who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, to address their concerns.
According to him, it appears Sammy Gyamfi has a “big heart” for the foot soldiers who worked tirelessly to ensure the party’s victory in the 2024 general election.
His comment comes in the wake of a video circulating on social media showing Gyamfi handing what appears to be U.S. dollars to the controversial former fetish priestess-turned-preacher, Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, widely known as Nana Agradaa.
Some members of the NDC, especially the footsoldiers, are outraged by the video and have taken to social media to express their displeasure, with some describing the gesture as an insult to those who labored for the party but have not received any such financial support.
They argue that Agradaa, a vocal critic of the NDC who actively campaigned against the party, should not be receiving financial assistance from a party official.
Speaking on his show Good Evening Ghana on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Paul Adom-Otchere acknowledged the concerns of the foot soldiers but encouraged them to contact Sammy Gyamfi, expressing confidence that he could help address their grievances.
“I can see the pain of those who see Agradaa flaunting Sammy Gyamfi’s dollars. That is really painful. I will urge the NDC footsoldiers—if you can reach Sammy Gyamfi, reach him. It looks as if he has a big heart for the foot soldiers.
“The foot soldiers are many—he has dealt with some, and he hasn’t been able to deal with others. He won’t be able to deal with all of them at the same time. But I am sure that those who are able to reach him, he will try to help if he has the power to do so. I saw Sam George texting that Sammy Gyamfi has been pushing for job placements for people and that the NCA is always on his neck.”
