Kwesi Pratt, Simon Osei-Mensah Pay Glowing Tribute To Sir John
More tributes keep pouring in celebration of the life of the Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie popularly known as Sir John.
Sir John passed away on Wednesday evening after a short illness.
Kwesi Pratt Jnr. adding his voice to the tributes said the former General Secretary of the NPP was an ‘all weatherman’ who had a good sense of humour.
He disclosed a conversation he had with the late CEO of the Forestry Commission in which he (Sir John) divulged his intention to contest for the Chairmanship position of the NPP.
"I knew Sir John from the first year of the University. He was an all weatherman and he will be deeply remembered. He told me he wanted to contest for the chairmanship position of the party and I even volunteered to campaign for him, and he jokingly added that ‘no if you campaign for me, you will reduce my votes'," Kwesi Pratt told Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' programme.
Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah also paid tribute to Sir John.
According to him, “he campaigned for me in 2004 and stood by me until I won and he didn’t even know me”.
He has urged Ghanaians to learn from the death of Sir John and abide by the safety protocols of COVID-19.
Both were speaking on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Friday.
