Gabby Asare Otchere Darko
• Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has responded to allegations made against him by Angel Ofori-Atta
• Angel Ofori-Atta, a supposed member of the Akufo-Addo and Ofori-Atta family had accused Mr Otchere-Darko of hijacking the government
• Mr Otchere-Darko in a rather cryptic response has labelled Angel Ofori-Atta as an enemy within their family
Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, who has been accused by an alleged family of hijacking the government, has thrown a subtle response amidst the wild allegations.
Angel Nana Yaw Boakye Dankwa Ofori-Atta Owuahene Yiadom, in a recent live video on his Facebook page, made several allegations including the perpetuation of corruption and cronyism in the Akufo-Addo-led government by some individuals.
Owuahene Yiadom added that the said corruptible actions were detrimental to the history and chances of the Akufo-Addo and Ofori-Atta family in Ghana’s political space going into the future.
In his 14-minute-long outburst and expression of being betrayed by the current New Patriotic Party government, Angel Ofori-Atta singled out Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko claiming that the President’s nephew, despite contributing little to the party’s quest for power, has overly grown his influence thereby reaping overreaching benefits.
However, in what seems to be a cryptic response, Gabby Otchere Darko in Facebook post has labeled Angel as an enemy within their family.
In his rather short response to the myriad of allegations, Gabby wrote “famnemies. We all have them. Just stay focused. Do what you can, when you can, how you can, for those you can… And, in all this, be true to your conscience.”
Angel Ofori-Atta’s outburst
A supposed relative of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has warned that people in his immediate circle continue to run him down and taint his reputation.
In a 14-minute long video message posted on Facebook, the gentleman by name Angel Nana Yaw Boakye Dankwa Ofori Atta Owauahene Yiadom, alleges that there is rampant corruption and cronyism around the president.
He is worried that the trend could have generational consequences to the extent that no member of the Ofori-Atta or Akufo-Addo family could rise to national political importance after the sitting president.
He particularly singled out Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, nephew of the president who he said had grown wings and courted so much influence that he was bossing people like him and others around despite doing little compared to what he [Angel] contributed in bringing Akufo-Addo into office.
“We want Ghana to succeed, boys have suffered for this party, we are going to organize a protest for the footsoldiers.
“Gabby and co, where did you come from? How come we are where we are? We are going to do what we got to do for the party, if you want to kill us, go ahead with it,” he is heard saying in a video.
He spoke about what he said was the level of greed, favouritism and cronyism in the corridors of power.
“It is disgusting the level of greediness…. Amewu and Bawumia incorporate everyone but Akyems are always with Akyems, why is that?”
“We have seen different dispensations where Ghana was for all of us. You are enjoying alone. Akufo-Addo is level headed but for his lieutenants who are running him down,” he added.
He said despite the sacrifices that he had made especially financially to bring the party to power, he was currently living in Amsterdam for reasons of security, warning that if he is attacked at any point, his relations should be held responsible because they have openly threatened him in the past.
