Act like a Catholic Priest – Afenyo-Markin tells current UEW Vice-Chancellor

By Justice Dzido On Jul 26, 2019

Member of Parliament (MP) for the Effutu constituency, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has expressed disappointment in the conduct of the current Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), Very Rev. Fr. Prof. Anthony Afful-Broni.

According to him, Rev. Afful-Broni has refused to do what is right by vacating his post for the former Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Avoke after he was exonerated by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Prof. Avoke and some staff, who were dismissed on Tuesday afternoon, stormed the university to take over its management.

According to Prof Avoke, his decision followed his clearance by the EOCO after he was indicted for abusing his office.

“EOCO after a thorough probe concluded in black and white that we did not abuse our office or were involved in any procurement breaches. We are back to take over our respective offices and right place in the school,” Prof Avoke said.

Prof Avoke in the company of other dismissed staff of the university entered the campus and into the council chamber in an attempt to address a press conference but security officers responded and disrupted the planned press conference.

But, Mr Afenyo-Markin could not fathom why Prof. Afful-Broni is continuously interfering in the administration of Prof. Avoke.

He said Prof. Afful-Broni is aware of the EOCO report and therefore could not fathom why the Chancellor is behaving that way.

“My message to this Catholic father is that he should do unto others, what he wants others to do unto him. I will never allow Afful-Broni to embarrass me. It’s now time to speak up and won’t allow Afful-Broni to interfere in the affairs of the school.

“He is well aware of the EOCO report clearing Prof. Avoke and it’s now time for him to go. Just as I fought for others, I will fight Avoke and ensure that the right thing is done. One day, those who disagree with me will understand me very well,” he said angrily on Accra based Okay FM, monitored by Adomonline.com.
