Media personality Afia Pokuaa, also known as Vim Lady, has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Sammy Gyamfi. In a Facebook post, she acknowledged that Gyamfi’s actions were wrong, especially given his history of criticizing other politicians for similar behavior. However, she found the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) strong reaction to the matter surprising.
Vim Lady pointed out the NPP’s past response to the Cecilia Dapaah scandal, where over $1 million was found in her home, and the party defended her despite public outcry. She advised against hypocrisy, suggesting that individuals should not be quick to judge others when in opposition, as they may face similar situations in the future.
She concluded with a Ghanaian proverb, “Abaa a yedi bo Takyi no, yede bɛbo Baah,” which translates to “The same cane used to beat Takyi will be used to beat Baah.” This proverb implies that today’s controversy may be tomorrow’s reality for someone else. Vim Lady’s comments highlight the importance of consistency and fairness in judgment.
The controversy surrounding Sammy Gyamfi has sparked a broader conversation about accountability and double standards in politics. As the situation continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how the parties involved respond to the criticism and whether they will take steps to address the perceived hypocrisy.
Vim Lady’s comments serve as a reminder that politicians should be held to high standards, but they should also be treated fairly and without bias. The public will be watching closely to see how this situation develops and whether the parties involved will take the necessary steps to restore trust and credibility.
Ultimately, the outcome of this controversy will depend on the actions of the parties involved and their willingness to address the issues at hand. By speaking out, Vim Lady has added her voice to the conversation, highlighting the need for accountability and fairness in politics.
