Ghanaian gospel musician and pro New Patriotic Party sympathizer, Diana Asamoah has warned colleague, Empress Gifty Adorye not to use any AstroTurf built by the Akufo-Addo government for the funeral of her late mother.
According to Diana Asamoah, both Gifty and her husband Hopeson Adorye betrayed Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections and should not use a facility built by the current government.
Diana Asamoah revealed that she personally told Empress Gifty not to use any AstroTurf built by the NPP for her mother’s funeral rites when she visited her to pay her a condolence visit.
“Recently, on Sunday, I visited Gifty Adorye and asked her where she planned to hold her mother’s funeral. She told me she wanted to organize it at the same astroturf where Dr. Kofi Amoa-Abban held his mother’s funeral. I immediately told her not to even consider it.”
She continued, “I told her to go to her ‘Afrafranto’ party and ask them for an astroturf for the funeral. I reminded her that she didn’t vote for the NPP, so she should go and look for her own land to organise the funeral. I gave both her and her husband a final warning on this matter, they should go to those they voted for to get an astroturf.”
On December 14, 2024, Empress Gifty announced the death of her mother, actress Evangelist Agnes Aba Annan, popularly known as Agaga.
