Henry Quartey and Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka
Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has alleged that despite her father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, the founder and leader of Kristo Asafo, supporting the New Patriotic Party (NPP), his businesses were deliberately targeted for collapse during the party’s administration.
According to Adwoa Safo, her father’s bus terminal in Accra was demolished on orders from the Jubilee House during the NPP government.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on March 24, 2025, she revealed that when she sought clarification from the then Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, he told her the directive came from above.
“My father, Apostle Ing Kwadwo Safo, had a transport company called Imperial Express, operating across the country. Previously, where the ICGC church is now located at Agbogbloshie, my father’s transport business was thriving. But one day, bulldozers came and destroyed everything.
“In my own government, I called, and the regional minister told me it was an order from above. They destroyed my father’s business without any notice. I am not afraid to say it, it was Henry Quartey. I called him, and he told me it was an order from above,” she said.
Adwoa Safo further disclosed that the land seized from her father remains undeveloped, merely fenced off and serving no purpose.
She criticized the government for destroying her father’s business, which she said had played a crucial role in supporting the party, especially during election campaigns.
“They destroyed my father’s business. It was the same buses that we used to transport voters. In 2012, we used them to move voters from other regions to support the party.”
Adwoa Safo also claimed that the government harassed her father’s businesses by falsely accusing him of tax evasion, despite his compliance with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
She added that the land originally belonged to the government, but her father had been legally renting it.
“The land belongs to the government, and we were paying rent. The land was given to us by Hon. Nii Lantey Vanderpuye.”
