Member of Parliament for Efutu Constituency, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has called for calm to prevail at the University of Education, Winneba to enable the school continue with its academic activities.
According to him, what is happening at the University is not affecting lecturers, but students who are in academic competition with students from other universities.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that the current Vice Chancellor, Prof. Afful-Broni should do the needful and respect the decision that was taken at a meeting when Prof. Avoke was sacked.
He intimated that what ever goes up in life definitely comes down so he should be mindful of what he is doing to others.
"However, I am appealing to every affected member of the university to remain calm and use the appropriate medium to settle whatever problem they may be encountering," he added.
Tensions are currently high at the campus of the University of Education Winneba following a press conference sacked Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Mawutor Avoke intends to organize on campus.
But the police prevented Prof. Avoke and his team from going ahead with the press conference.

Ignorance people, you people are insulting our MP because you didn’t know what was going on at the University. In as much as we all discourage ethnocentric, how on earth do we sit down for the VC and his people to award all contracts in the school to only one ethnic group? We the indigenes were not even getting labourer work to do in the school. All well meaning Ghanaian should go to the school and find out for themselves.
Afenyo Markin has given credence to the long held belief of a classical "Simpa Panyin". Bad, bad, bad leadership at it's peak. You go and muddy the waters and come back with a face like a cat to call for truce. I will be surprised if the people of Winneba don't vote this Nation wrecker out of the power he's abusing come next year God willing. He's deprived Winneba of whatever little glory was left of that town. S.hame on you. You think Ghanaians can't reason for themselves?
I can read mischief from the comments above, though I agree Alex is crafty and is playing some games as UCEW, I also believe his opponent--Kofi of challenging height is using his people to paint "black" Alex more black. We should be fair and speak to the issues.
Afenyo is a disgrace to humanity and his party. Once the Education Minister has put his feet down you are now calling for truce. I am sure if Goldfields Ghana were to be in your constituency or the Oil deposit wasa found in Effutu, you would have asked the whole Ghana to back of the find. What is this bullshit about local content? Is the university run with funds from Effutuman? Tribalistic no wonder your original region is ..... region.
All level headed and we'll meaning pure Effutu citizens must rise up and get rid of this crafty greedy and blood sucking criminal MP who is living in a ***barred word***'s paradise. He is a total disgrace to the government and if care is not taken he will soon turn his eyes on Akuffo Addo's government. He will create the same confusion there.
Afenyo-Markin is truly beyond unprintable insults. Why be the cause of the mayhem and deliberately cause for a truce. This is the third time you’re calling for a solution publicly to the many problems of the university. You did same when you started fighting the current VC and published an old picture portraying that it was a recent meeting with the university management and the Education Minister. You secondly recalled students back to the campus when you caused a needless demonstration that destroyed properties and the university was closed down indefinitely. Now you are calling for a truce to regroup and come up. God will punish you for your selfish wickedness. Stay off the university because it’s not your family property.
How can you initiate something and when it back fires you call for truce ? You are doing all this because you have been promised to 30% of their entitlements. Why is Afenyo-Markin always motivated by money? Readers should remember the ADB case. And how he took 1million dollars from the bank to drop the case. That is Afenyo-Markin for you. I am hearing that he is under investigation for giving a contract to his girlfriend who supplied expired products to Ghana water for water treatment. Greed will kill this guy
Mr Markins, stop the Machiavellian tactics and hands off the university. If all MPs with universities in their constituency decides to go your mad ways, will Ghana be governable? How can you advise a whole Professor to storm a university and reinstate himself as a VC? Like I will also go to USA and capture the White House or possibly enter your home and reinstate myself as the rightful husband to your wife... now how about that? Absurdity in the highest order right? From the comments above , I have been really educated, I thought all along that you meant well for the university but now I know you are just a common criminal. Your end will be very sad if you don’t ammend now. There is more to life than you see it. I just got to know you are even a young man. Can you imagine the stress and shame you are bringing on your family? Or you are a ***barred word*** now? Because of money and corruption you are dining with NDC. Shame on you
Now that MoE has spoken, you are pretending to be a peacemaker You are indeed pathetic. How can you hide behind arkoli and avoke to create mayhem on campus and think on your small mind that it will lead to the govt saying the VC must go?? My Class 3 students will not even brainstorm and come out with such wack logic, yet a whole “lawyer” could contemplate this? No wonder the CJ is saying she will not allow mass production of lawyers lol
We can’t wait to bid this guy fare well in Winneba Very soon we shal have a new MP and I can assure the people of Ghana that they will begin to see a new Winneba Winnebarians are gentle, calm and highly honorable but Alex is giving us a bad name even our fancy dress festival he messed it up Our own aboakyere festival he messed it up Made UEW have a close down and market women lost revenue What kind of person is this at all? God help effutuman in December 2020 to send this man to the Volta region where he comes from Winneba is king
