Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has called on National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters to refrain from criticising Sammy Gyamfi’s dollar gift to her, describing the backlash as unnecessary.
The founder of Heaven Way Champion International Ministry addressed the controversy in a viral video, claiming the amount involved was ‘only $800’ and urging party members to see the gesture as a divine blessing rather than a provocation.
“How much is $800? NDC supporters shouldn’t feel aggrieved because of this,” Agradaa stated. “The Bible says you should not covet your neighbour’s blessings—always tap into somebody’s blessings.”
Her remarks follow widespread debate after footage emerged showing Gyamfi, acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), publicly handing her the cash. While critics, including former MP Ras Mubarak, condemned the act as harmful to confidence in the cedi, Agradaa framed it as an act of generosity that others should aspire to receive.
“If Mama Pat has been blessed by Sammy Gyamfi, then supporters of the party should pray to encounter the same blessing from him,” she advised. She further cautioned against condemning goodwill, warning, “If you condemn the act and someone blesses you, it is a curse.”
