Sammy Gyamfi’s Viral Dollar Videos with Nana Agradaa Shocks Ghana as many including the opposition New Patriotic Party calls for the sacking of the Acting Goldbod CEO.
The sensational video rocking Ghana on May 12, 2025 shared on Ghana Trends Media on Youtube, has thrust Sammy Gyamfi, Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board and NDC National Communications Officer, into a firestorm of controversy, as he’s seen gifting a bundle of U.S. dollars to Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, aka Nana Agradaa.
Sammy Gyamfi’s Viral Dollar Videos with Nana Agradaa Shocks Ghana
The explosive footage, trending on X and other platforms, shows Gyamfi counting the cash from his sleek white Range Rover before Agradaa, with a cheeky grin, grabs the stack, later bragging she pocketed $800. This jaw-dropping display of wealth has sparked a nationwide uproar, with netizens slamming the public official for undermining President John Mahama’s anti-opulence directive amid Ghana’s economic recovery.
Nana Agradaa, the former fetish priestess turned evangelist, fueled the controversy further by defending the transaction in a bold follow-up video. She claimed the money was a casual fuel request, a practice she insists is common when meeting ministers, and cited biblical principles of generosity to justify her actions. Agradaa also disclosed Gyamfi’s advice to steer clear of political drama and focus on her ministry, but her plea for NDC supporters to back off has fallen on deaf ears. With her controversial history amplifying the scandal, keywords like “Nana Agradaa dollar drama” and “Sammy Gyamfi corruption allegations” are surging, driving heated debates across Ghanaian social media.
Gyamfi, attempting damage control, issued a heartfelt apology on May 11, labeling the dollar gift a private act of goodwill that spiraled into a public spectacle. Despite his regret and pledge to align with Mahama’s vision, the apology hasn’t doused the flames. Heavyweights like economist Theo Acheampong and former NDC MP Ras Mubarak are demanding Gyamfi’s suspension, citing violations of Mahama’s new Code of Conduct for public officials. The timing couldn’t be worse, as the cedi’s recent stability—highlighted by Mubarak—makes Gyamfi’s flaunting of foreign currency a potential economic misstep, with search terms like “Ghana cedi stability 2025” and “Mahama anti-corruption policy” gaining traction.
The Presidency has summoned Gyamfi to face Chief of Staff Julius Debrah on May 12, while President Mahama, currently at the African Union Debt Conference in Lomé, Togo, faces mounting pressure to act. This scandal, blending high-profile politics with a polarizing evangelist, has sparked a digital frenzy, with hashtags like #SammyGyamfiScandal and #NanaAgradaaControversy dominating online discourse. As Ghanaians demand accountability, the incident tests Mahama’s commitment to integrity, with “Ghana political ethics” and “Mahama governance 2025” emerging as key phrases shaping the narrative. The nation awaits the fallout of this viral saga, poised to redefine public trust in the administration.
