The National Communication Officer of the opposition NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, has been annihilated by Twitter users for using the unfortunate death of Black American George Floyd, who died after a brutish treatment on him by a white Police Officer in America last week for partisan politics.
The NDC Chief Communicator, in a rather bizarre and disgusting mode of communication, posted a cartoon of President Akufo-Addo and Electoral Commissioner Jean Mensah suffocating a Ghanaian with the caption "I can't breathe", depicting and recalling the sad circumstance George Floyd lost his life to suggest that the President and the Electoral Commissioner are suffocating Ghanaians to death with the impending new voters' register.
In a massive outpour of angst and revulsion, Twitter users on Sammy Gyamfi's timeline hit at him for being irrational, irresponsible and insensitive for using the sad death of somebody the world is mourning for his party's parochial political interest.
Several users also accused the NDC National Communications Officer of being disrespectful to the memory of the late Floyd for using his fatal ordeal to advance his party's political agenda in the manner he did.
Users who couldn't stand what they described as the repulsive behaviour of Sammy Gyamfi threatened to report his account to Twitter for his unacceptable behaviour.
Below are some of the tweets:

This is so wrong on so many levels. Not only is this disrespectful to the man who lost his life in this way, it also does not signify anything. This is disgusting!

This tweet doesn't speak well about the President on Ghana. Please take this account down
Let’s all report this post. It’s very insensitive. A family has lost a dear one which has caused a movement across the globe and all you could do is rub it into politics ? Smh
