At a press conference held today, May 13, 2025, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) leveled serious allegations against Sammy Gyamfi, Acting CEO of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) and National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The NPP accused Gyamfi of engaging in an ostentatious lifestyle and violating financial regulations.

Central to the NPP’s concerns is an incident involving Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa. Gyamfi reportedly gifted her $800, a gesture the NPP contends breaches Ghana’s Foreign Exchange Act, anti-money laundering laws, and the presidential code of conduct. In response, Nana Agradaa has stated her intention to return the money, acknowledging the controversy it has sparked

Henry Nana Boakye, the NPP’s National Organiser, called on President John Mahama to immediately interdict Gyamfi to facilitate an impartial investigation. Boakye emphasized that failing to act would render Mahama’s code of conduct ineffective

Further criticisms were directed at Gyamfi’s alleged display of wealth, which the NPP described as “painted opulence” and “flamboyant” behavior, especially concerning given his short tenure in government.

In defense, Gyamfi has refuted claims of extravagant spending, including reports of costly office renovations, labeling them as false and politically motivated attacks from the NPP

This unfolding situation has intensified political tensions, placing pressure on President Mahama to address the allegations against Gyamfi. The NPP asserts that Mahama’s response will be a critical test of his leadership and commitment to ethical governance .
