Okatakyie Kwame Afrifa, the fiery and unapologetic host of Angel TV/FM’s morning show, has come out swinging in defense of his former comrade-in-arms, Oliver Barker Vormawor, in the face of allegations that the outspoken activist is motivated by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). In a passionate and candid outburst, Afrifa shut down claims that Barker Vormawor’s Fix The Country demonstrations are NDC-backed, calling them baseless and pointing to the activist’s personal drive for activism.
Speaking live on air, Afrifa didn’t mince words as he jumped to Oliver’s rescue, stating, “I have seen people trying to tag Oliver Barker Vormawor as being driven by the NDC’s agenda. Let me tell you something, some of the things he’s doing might seem extreme or unnecessary, but one thing is for sure—Oliver is not motivated by the NDC or any political party.”
Afrifa, who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Oliver during the height of the Fix The Country movement, added fuel to the fire by suggesting that Vormawor’s thirst for protest is deeply ingrained in his character. “This man doesn’t need any political party to get him out on the streets,” Afrifa said. “His existence is motivated by the very things he does. From the moment he attended Harvard, he has had this passion for activism. He naturally likes demonstrating.”
Amid the chatter that Barker Vormawor’s actions align with the NDC’s interests, Afrifa offered a reminder of the struggles they faced during their activism. “I remember our Fix The Country days. Back then, the NDC didn’t like what Oliver was doing. Why? Because his actions were shaking the foundations of this country’s democracy, and even they felt threatened.”
Okatakyie’s fiery defense didn’t stop there. He claimed that the NDC is only capitalizing on Barker Vormawor’s actions to score cheap political points. “At any given moment, the NDC tries to twist what Oliver is doing for their own gain,” he stated.
In a bombshell revelation, Afrifa described a late-night standoff with high-profile NDC members, where Barker Vormawor and key Fix The Country figures resisted the party’s attempts to infiltrate their movement. “Let me tell you something real. Myself, Oliver, Captain Smart, and Sammy Gyamfi—yes, the NDC’s own communications guru—sat in a meeting along with an NDC chieftain until 3 AM, resisting their proposal to join our activities.”
He painted a picture of an NDC desperate to hitch its wagon to Vormawor’s movement, only to be rejected outright. “They wanted in, but we stood firm. That should tell you everything you need to know about Oliver’s independence in this struggle.”
Afrifa’s rant has left the public with even more questions about the murky world of Ghanaian activism and its ties with political parties. But one thing is clear—he’s ready to die on the hill defending his former comrade’s reputation.
Amid this storm, Barker Vormawor, who is no stranger to controversy, remains silent. His next move will no doubt be watched closely, as the political scene waits to see if he will address the explosive comments from Afrifa.
As tensions rise and the Fix The Country legacy remains up for debate, Afrifa’s intervention may have just opened up a whole new chapter in this ongoing saga. Stay tuned, because this battle for the truth is far from over.
