New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for the Effutu constituency, Hon. Alexander Kwabena Afenyo Markin, has been trolled on social media.

This was after a picture of him clad in a freemason apparel surfaced online Sunday, May 29, 2022.

Years before this development, Mr. Afenyo Markin, who is also the Deputy Majority Leader of the 8th Parliament of the Fourth Republic, had declared in an interview that he was a member of the freemason society.

He also refuted rumours he had been excommunicated by the Catholic church for joining the fraternal society.

“I am a mason and I have not been sanctioned by the Catholic Church. Freemasonry is a fraternal society that believes in God Almighty and follows certain principles that guide a man’s life and it does not run counter with my beliefs as a Catholic. President Kufuor is a mason and a catholic,” he told Bola Ray on Starr Chat in 2016.

Six (6) years down the line, the Effutu lawmaker is trending on Twitter after a picture of him in a mason's attire was widely shared.

In a reaction on Twitter, United States-based Ghanaian journalist, Kevin Taylor trolled Afenyo Markin describing the development as a “comedy”.

According to the loudmouth broadcaster, freemasonry lost its relevance centuries ago. He said if the society forms part of the bedrock of the western world, the whites would not allow a “slave” to join.

Kevin Taylor further mocked that today's mason is just a mens fellowship to make the “slave” feel okay.

“See comedy The masons lost its relevance centuries and who said the white man will allow a “slave” to join a society that some how forms part of the bedrock of his nation? Todays mason is a mens fellowship to make the “slave” feel comfortable,” he wrote.
