Ghanaian politician Hopeson Yaovi Adorye has courted attention after he flaunted a gift he received from his wife, Empress Gifty, on social media.
The former security officer at the Kotoka International Airport was overjoyed as his wife returned from her recent trip to Paris with a special Father’s Day gift.
In a video seen by YEN.com.gh on Thursday, June 26, 2025, Hopeson Adorye decided to show off the new gifts from some shopping bags inside his plush residence.
He took out a pair of black classic business casual shoes, which he claimed were made by the renowned international luxury fashion brand Zara, from one of the bags, as he praised Empress Gifty for being a good wife who had been spoiling him with gifts.
However, there was something unusual, as the word “Zaba” instead of “Zara” was engraved on the sole of the pair of shoes.
Hopeson Adorye threw subtle jabs indirectly at televangelist Agradaa, as he boasted about his wife, Empress Gifty’s trip abroad.
He also flaunted some Ralph Lauren Polo shirts and diffusers that Empress Gifty had added to the numerous gifts she gave to him as part of his Father’s Day celebrations.
Hopeson Adorye’s questionable branded pair of business casual shoes garnered the attention of some Ghanaians, who teased him on social media. Many believed that they were a knock-off of the popular Zara shoes that were being sold in foreign countries.
