Update: Augustine Sefah has not quit football to become a fetish priest
GhanaWeb can exclusively report that the viral photo depicting someone who looks like former Asante Kotoko defender, Augustine Sefah as a fetish priest is a case of mistaken identity. This platform on Thursday, January 14, 2021, published a story asking if defender Augustine Sefah has quit football to become a fetish priest. However, our puzzle has been solved as the identity of the man who was seen dressed in a white priest gown with powder all over his body and a leaf rope around his neck has now been revealed. He came to the premises of GhanaWeb today, January 15, 2021, to prove that he is the one in the photo and not Augustine Sefah. The man identified himself as Nii Afrankah, the Chief of Dunshie in Awoshie-Sowutoum. This proves that Nii Afrankah’s identity was mistaken for that of Augustine Sefah. He didn’t like the fact that his identity was mistaken for that of the former Kotoko player. He demanded an apology. Below is the story that was initially published yesterday: Has Augustine Sefah quits football to become a fetish priest? Former Asante Kotoko defender, Augustine Sefah, has been reportedly ordained as a fetish priest. A viral picture circulating on various social media platform which has been sighted by GhanaWeb allegedly showed that the right-back has ditched football to become a priest. The defender who left Asante Kotoko before the commencement of the 2020/2021 Ghana Premier League season was seen dressed in a white priest gown with powder all over his body and a leaf rope around his neck. Augustine Sefah was with three other people when the picture in question was taken. It is, however, not clear if the picture was photoshopped or the right-back has actually become a fetish priest in his hometown.

Fomena MP puts NPP ahead as Majority in Parliament
The confusion among the NPP and NDC Members of Parliament has been addressed today by the Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Bagbin. The decision by the Member of Parliament for Fomena Andrew Asiamah brought the argument of who is Majority in Parliament between the two parties under control. The Speaker of Parliament after reading the letter presented by Fomena MP requesting to be on the side of NPP disclosed that the Fomena MP’s wish has been granted. However, he pointed out that NPP is confirmed majority side in the chamber of parliament. Due to the ugly experience witnessed in the early hour of Jan 7, the NPP MPs numbering 70 decided to come as early as 4 am to occupy the right-hand side of the Speaker. However, it appears the NDC MPs share a different idea with the speaker’s declarations of NPP as the majority in parliament.

Yaw Osafo Maafo quits government
Yaw Osafo-Maafo, the Senior Minister has decided to quit government, it was reported that the source close to him told Asaaseradio. According to the source, Mr. Osafo- Maafo had informed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of his decision right after the December general election after the New Patriotic Party was declared the winner of the 2020 election by the EC chairperson. Osafo Maafo has contributed his quota since he was appointed by President Akufo in his first administration, he is known in Ghana as one of the veteran politicians with smart thinking according to some political experts. His contribution to the Akufo Addo led government was bedeviled with few controversies ranging from his justification of avoiding the prosecution of the Chinese ‘galamsyer’ Aisha Huang and his battle with the Auditor General. However, his position as a Senior Minister is still seen as something of a novelty. It was first introduced into the Ghanaian body politic by President John Agyekum Kufuor in 2001 when he appointed J H Mensah to the role. Meanwhile, the nationwide co-ordination of the reopening of schools and other educational institutions after their long closure in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was the main project that Senior Minister Osafo-Maafo supervised in 2020, his last year in office.

MPs who went to Parliament as early as 4-am dosed off in Chamber
Reports reaching Apexnewsgh.com has it that some of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of the 8th Parliament made another history for the first time by going to take their seats in the chamber of parliament as early as 4 am. Although the speaker of Parliament is expected to announce during proceedings for the day at 10 am who is the Majority and who is the Minority. However, some credible news portals report that by 8:30 am, there were over 70 Members of Parliament from the NPP seated in the Chamber in white attires. It appears the decision of these NPP members of Parliaments was to avoid their 7th December experience of not having the opportunity to sit on the right side of the Speaker, which is appropriately reserved for the Majority in Parliament. Because such early actions were unusual to some of these MPs, some of them were captured dosed off in the Chamber as a result of tiredness. Apexnewsgh.com can report.
