Empower Footsoldiers And Not Opportunist Like Afia – Footsoldiers Attack Chief Of Staff

A group called ‘Alliance for Footsoldiers Advocacy’ (AFFA) affiliated with the ruling party, NPP has berated the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare’s huge donation to controversial media personality Afia Schwar.

Social media users have gone haywire after controversial comedian Afia Schwar disclosed a few days ago that the Chief of Staff donated a whooping GHc50,000 to support her father’s funeral and also gave her a coffin flew from abroad for her father’s burial.

“God bless you. GH₵50,000 from a woman. You said, Afia, use this to prepare the funeral. May God bless you with long life. Everyone is saying God will bless me for what I have done to my father. I divide that blessing into two and add my half to yours. May God bless your children,” Afia was heard saying in the video.

It appears the footsoldiers of the NPP are disappointed over the revelation Afia made over the huge money she received from the Chief of Staff. In a press release sighted online, the group chastize the party for doing nothing for their footsoldiers but spend lavishly on opportunists like Afia Schwar who did not contribute to the win of the party in 2016-2020.

The press release reads, “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 a 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.”

“AFFA respectfully submits that the era of rewarding opportunistic media personalities masquerading as political influencers at the expense of hardworking party footsoldiers must stop! “Monkeys” cannot work in the trenches for “baboons” to come and chop,” the group added.

The NPP group, however, called on government appointees to “desist from acts which demoralize the spirit of hardworking party members as we strive to “break the eight”.
