Sammy Gyamfi has finally nailed the coffin on News File dragging Afenyo‑Markin and the entire NPP

Ayisha Alhassan has expressed strong approval of Sammy Gyamfi’s appearance on Joy FM’s Newsfile, arguing that his contribution dealt a major blow to the NPP amid the ongoing controversy involving GoldBod and Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

Writing on Facebook, Ayisha declared that Gyamfi had “finally nailed the coffin” on the programme, praising what she considered a compelling response to arguments put forward by Afenyo-Markin and members of the NPP.

She described Gyamfi’s delivery as confident and backed by evidence. Ayisha said he repeated allegations of extortion involving Afenyo-Markin while challenging the Minority Leader to take the matter to court if he believed the allegations had no basis.

For Ayisha, Gyamfi’s approach demonstrated his confidence in his position and his determination to defend GoldBod as criticism of the institution continues. She further raised the question of whether Kofi Bentil, a lawyer and Vice President of IMANI Africa, would come forward with a response to Gyamfi’s submissions.

The comments have added another layer to the broader political debate over Afenyo-Markin and the allegations surrounding GoldBod. Those sympathetic to Gyamfi praised his ability to communicate his position and argued that his appearance helped advance the government’s side of the debate.

On the other hand, critics stressed that allegations involving public figures should be supported by reliable evidence and handled through proper legal procedures rather than being determined through political exchanges on television or social media.

The episode reflects the growing intensity of political debate in Ghana, where statements made during media appearances can quickly generate widespread public reactions. Although Ayisha characterised Gyamfi’s performance as a clear victory, the substantive allegations remain subject to verification and due process.

Her reaction consequently highlights the role of political communication while reinforcing the need for factual evidence when serious accusations are made. With the GoldBod controversy still attracting attention, discussions over rhetoric, accountability and the need for verifiable information are expected to continue.
