He indeed lived, served and sacrificed a lot of the resources his Maker granted him while on earth, to shape the destinies and futures of many young people in Ghana and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was, and will always be a fountain of hope, blessings and inspiration to many upcoming people in the corporate and political arenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was such a personality a lot of Ghanaians wanted to associate themselves with, and people cannot still understand why death suddenly laid his icy hands on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I think, our Maker knows best, and soon we shall all understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many top political icons were saddened by his demise, and all they could mostly reflect is the kind of sustainable impact he made on the country’s developmental continuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes me remember the kind of legacy Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah left on the entire African continent, particularly Ghana, yet his hometown was left in a very poor state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sir John’s story is of no difference to Osagyefo’s. They have invested so much in the architectural design of his tomb, but nothing significant has been done in his hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Millions of Ghana Cedis have been injected into his funeral and everything surrounding it, but a road to the very place he was groomed and nurtured is nothing to write home about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prudently, I do not think Sir John actually needs a luxurious or any expensive tomb in order to have a good rest or perhaps make it to heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think, and I am sure most Ghanaians will agree with me that, Sir John would rest in perfect peace if government appreciates the excellent work he did for his motherland, and construct a well furnished road that connects to his hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie served as the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party from 2010 to 2014. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He was serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission of Ghana until he met his untimely death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He was a lawyer by profession, and even had the chance to head the legal services of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was subsequently made the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sir John was proudly an old student of Seventh Day Adventist Secondary School (Bekwai) and Konongo Odumase Secondary School (Konongo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was also an alumnus of University of Ghana (Legon) and Ghana School of Law (Makola).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sir John deserves the best from his motherland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s fix the poor road network in his hometown for him to rest well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Content created by: Ghana’sthirdeye<\/p>\n\n\n\n Send your news stories to\u00a0dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
