The opening tribute of President Akufo-Addo to the late Sir John reads:
The date was 3rd September 2013, and Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie was in the studios of Hello FM, a Kumasi- based radio station, making his famous statement with such utter conviction.
Many were those who wondered why “Sir John”, as he was referred to by all, would make these comments barely three (3) days after the Supreme Court handed down its controversial 5-4 verdict in the election petition of 2013.
President Akufo-Addo ends his tribute to the late Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie a man he described as a “strong defender of human rights as a lawyer” with:
Passionate devotee of the Danquah-Dombo-Busia political tradition, outstanding stalwart of the NPP, strong defender of human rights as a lawyer, proud, faithful adherent of the Seventh Day Christian Adventist faith- these were the multi-facetted aspects of the career and character of Sir John, which earned him great affection and considerable renown.
