Sammy Gyamfi apologises to Ghanaians

In the aftermath of his dollar gift to Agradaa, Sammy Gyamfi immediately took to Facebook on Sunday, May 11, and apologised in a lengthy statement.

He clarified that his action was not to flaunt his wealth online, as has been misunderstood.

“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.”

Social media users who took to the comments section of the video have shared their views on the actions of Sammy Gyamfi.

Ogidi indicated:

"So are you trying to tell us that Sammy Gyamfi cannot get that amount of money? Cecilia Dapaah cannot be compared to Sammy Gyamfi’s case."

Diosityman reacted:

"The dollars in that Sammy Gyamfi's car were more than 5 million dollars. Only God knows how much he has in his house. People who were shouting corruption are more corrupt than those they accused."

Kwame Spintex (N-Kay):

"Which money are you people talking about? No one can bring Sammy Gyamfi down. He will not be sacked—never. Can’t he give gifts? Now how much at all did he give Agradaa? How much? Why is Ghana so full of politics? Now what is wrong? He can give an account of the money he shared. Why are you crying, hypocrites? What are his offenses?"
