Sir John was one of the people that convinced President @NAkufoAddo to run for the third time. I remember how he told the president that even if he's in a wheel chair, he's going to push him around to campaign. I wonder how Akufo-Addo must be feeling.

Rip Sir John. It's frightening how people are dying and no one is paying attention to the warnings of the Medical Council. Maybe our Covid is now starting and our leaders need to pay attention. Rip Sir John aka 'Fear Delegates'

Deeply saddened by the death of Sir John.

Such a people’s person.

Same pleasant guy you know and hear of; exactly same guy when you meet him.

I've missed hearing from Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka 'Sir John' on radio and TV.

This interview with @delayghana in June 2015 is arguably one of the best.

His humor is top notch. pic.twitter.com/5z2s9qvrc7
