‘Stop your senseless bluff’ – NPP MP fires Free Zones boss, demands apology over Apostle Nyamekye threat

• Effiduase/Asokore MP Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie has condemned Dr Mary Awusi over alleged threats against Apostle Eric Nyamekye.

• He described her remarks as “senseless bluff” and demanded a public apology within 48 hours.

• The clash follows Mary Awusi’s comments on galamsey, which have sparked political and social media backlash.

Member of Parliament for Effiduase/Asokore, Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie, has strongly reprimanded the CEO of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, Dr Mary Awusi, for her perceived threat against the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye.

According to him, the remarks amount to “senseless bluff,” warning that no one in his constituency, where Apostle Nyamekye hails from, will tolerate threats against the man of God.

The development comes after Dr Awusi, in an interview on Accra FM, warned Apostle Eric Nyamekye over his public comments on galamsey and threatened to “deal with him” for stating that the pollution of rivers and streams is directly disrupting key church practices, including water baptism in affected mining communities.
