Gloria Sarfo to AMAAs: I demand public apology to Ghanaian actors for 'total disrespect'

Ghanaian actress Gloria Sarfo has asserted Ghanaian actors deserve a public apology from the organisers of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) over recent flight issues that left them stranded at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
The actors, more than 15 in number, including Abdul Salam Mumuni, Frank Rajah, Pascal Amanfo and Akorfa Adjeani, had been invited to attend the 20th Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAAs) in Lagos, Nigeria, scheduled for Saturday, November 2, 2024.
In a social media video, Gloria Sarfo bitterly noted the tickets given to them as part of an “all-expense paid trip” by the AMAAs organisers were dud, failing give them access to board their flight towards Nigeria.
Speaking to Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo, Thursday, November 7, she demanded “a public apology, a press release, a communique, to the industry [and] to Ghana”.
“We can’t take this. This was total disrespect and disregard,” she decried, clarifying she was not in a fight with any individual.
Gloria Sarfo said private apologies issued to actors affected by the “embarrassing” incident was not enough.
She said, “I won’t make it [the apology sent to her] public until they make a public apology.”
“I’m not seeking anything for myself but for the industry. Think about the legends who went to the airport as early as 5 AM and we stranded,” the award-winning actress lamented.
“If we don’t demand such things, Ghanaians will be taken forever granted. We need to assert our value. The industry is suffering,” she emphasised.
According to the TV personality, she had long sought an opportunity to vent her spleen on some industry issues and saw this incident as choice for such a cause.
