Rev. Fr. Professor Anthony Afful-Broni has been inducted into office as the fourth Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education (UEW), Winneba.
The investiture and induction ceremony was held on Monday, 17 September 2018 at the University’s campus, even though there have been strong calls for the suspension of the exercise.
Rev. Fr. Professor Afful-Broni was appointed in an acting capacity after the Governing Council of the University dismissed five principal officers including the then-Vice Chancellor, Prof. Mawutor Avoke and four others, over missing vital documents at some offices of the institution.
A Winneba High Court, it would be recalled, in 2017 ordered Prof. Avoke to step aside until a case brought against him and the university’s Governing Council was determined, subsequently paving the way for Rev. Fr. Afful-Broni to get the UEW’s top job.
President Nana Akufo-Addo graced the occasion but Ranking Member of Parliament's Education Committee, Peter Nortsu Kotoe insists the induction of Rev. Fr. Prof. Afful-Broni will cause problems for the university due to pending lawsuits.
He earlier called on the president to avoid endorsing an illegality.
In a similar call, Professor Raymond Atuguba, lawyer for Prof. Avoke, described the removal of his client and Finance Officer Theophilus Senyo Ackorlie, from office, as smacking of tribalism.
But that has attracted a sharp condemnation from fellow lawyer, Poku Adusei, who described the assertion as an appeal to pity and emotions.

Stup*d bring your real name! id*iot who gave you Oware ? you can call yourselves Agyeman, Prempeh, Ogyeah?ho?, Osei Bonsu, Agyeman Badu whatever ndc will still lose! ndc is not attractive and you will rot in opposition!
The learned Professor says the authorities and the President should wait for the court decision before appointing Afful broni as VC. Are you a ***barred word*** to say the lawyer has lost the case that is why he is attributing tribalism. Learn how to read and stop that ***barred word*** NPP twisting of the fact.
I pity this lawyer and very sad at his commentaries when the case is still before the Supreme Court and a High court. If he is doing this then what will he expect from the 'unlearned' person like me. 'HE WHO COMES TO EQUITY MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS'
SO the only sensible and wise thing the so-called learned lawyer could say is 'tribalism'?? I shake my head in belief, because I know this is a trade mark of NDC. Tribal bigots. This is what we are noted for. We don't say anything sensible. We are all hypocrites in tribal smocks.
Wait until it happens to you and you will understand whether it is NDC or NPP
i thought it was the NDC and politicians who play the tribal card to appeal to peoples emotions, i didn't know learned lawyers do the same when a decision doesn't go their way pathetic
