NPP footsoldiers descend on Chief of Staff after huge donation to 'Opportunistic' Afia Schwarzenegger
16th March 2022
‘Alliance for Footsoldiers Advocacy (AFFA)’, a group within the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticized the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, over a GHS50,000 donation made to Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, popularly known as Afia Schwarzenegger.
According to the group, “inasmuch as AFFA is sympathetic to the plight of bereaved individuals, we find it extremely difficult to understand and accept the logic behind this particular gesture, considering the opportunistic character involved and the times we find ourselves
“We say this because Afia Schwarzenegger contributed nothing to the NPP’s success/victory in the 2016 general elections. Rather, and as a matter of fact, she used her platforms to make mockery of then opposition leader, candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo prior to the 2016 elections.
It is therefore shocking why a few years down the line, with the NPP in power, the Chief of Staff as well as senior government officials will suddenly forget the pain she caused the party, and reward her beautifully to the annoyance of party members whose toil and sacrifices birthed the fruits of government".
