Ex-Minister’s ‘Husband’ Weeps For Forgiveness!

Details are emerging about desperate manoeuvres by Samuel Opoku, the estranged husband of former Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister Rachel Appoh.

This time around, Samuel is on his knees making a passionate appeal to the Minister to forgive his ‘nuptial’ sins.

Sources close to the former couple say the one-time loud mouth Samuel has hushed, constantly calling to beg and now willing to cooperate with the Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the court.

Already, the CID has completed its investigation into the matter and is at the point of handing over the docket to Interpol for further action.

This surprising u-turn the paper’s deep throat source said is because Opoku risks being deported to Ghana to answer his bigamy charges in court which could land him in jail.

A March 11, 2020 four minutes thirty seconds WhatsApp audio recording intercepted by THE NEW PUBLISHER reveals penitent Samuel profusely begging the Former Gomoa Central Legislature.

He is heard claiming that he is sorry for sins and that no amount of compensation would appease Ms. Appoh.

Sounding like an end-time preacher, Samuel among other things is also heard saying that the world and all the things therein is vanity, the very reason his former wife must forgive him.

Per the audio, Samuel as well agreed to grant the pending divorce notice which has been hanging around his neck since 2017.

As though that was not enough, Samuel has followed up with a written apology to further impress on Ms Appoh to withdraw the bigamy case from court.

The letter dated June 17, 2020 titled “Apology Letter” signed by Samuel said “I understand and know that these issues have caused you great pain and inconvenience to your personal life and in your political career.”

It further noted: “May I take this opportunity to unreservedly apologize for whatever hurt, pain and inconvenience my action or inactions might have occasioned to you. I trust you will find it in your heart to accept my apology.”

Prior to the letter, Samuel has been calling on anybody who would be minded to listen to him including, senior politicians, Apostles of the Church of Pentecost where Appoh worships and some prominent chiefs as well as some former bosses of the ex-minister to beg on his behalf.

However, when contacted, Ms. Appoh would not confirm or deny the authenticity of the story except to indicate that “I want to treat this matter as a private issue.”

Asked about rumours that she’s contemplating withdrawing the bigamy case at the police CID she said “she will respect the advice of her bosses.”

Samuel dominated the headlines in Ghana and across the world when he in October 2016 married his new wife, Vennisa Sylvan in Canada when he was still legally married to Appoh in Ghana.

Ms. Appoh as a result filed for divorce in an Accra High Court in February 2017 and subsequently sued Samuel for bigamy.
