NPP Deputy Communications Director, Mame Yaa Aboagye has eulogized the late CEO of the Forestry Commission, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka Sir John, describing him as a “gem who served his party wholeheartedly”.
According to her, Sir John’s death was a big blow to the NPP.
“Words cannot describe our loss but one thing I know is a good man legacy always leaves on and we will forever cherish him in our heart.”
Sir John’s One Week commiseration came off on Wednesday, July 22, 2020, and tributes poured in for him from his family, friends, the NPP, and the general public.
Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia led a delegation of the party to the Ashanti Region, Sakora Wonoo, to condole with the grieving family.
Mame Yaa Aboagye shared memories of the late Forestry CEO and former NPP General Secretary.
“Lawyer Afriyie’s death is a big blow to us. His love for NPP and contribution to Ghana politics was so overwhelming. Ghana has lost a real gem, NPP has lost a gem…He worked tirelessly with all humility and ensured that all the activities of the party go on as planned even when he’s not part of the current executives. He did his best and was very supportive to foot soldiers and also instrumental ensuring Nana-Bawumia retained their seat, come 2020 elections“.
