A pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) social media user identified as Oh_Menua has expressed disappointment at Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, describing his recent actions as “embarrassing”.
His post on X comes after a series of interviews by Ntim Fordjour on Channel One TV and JoyNews over the weekend.
The major interview which has rocked the Ghanaian media was Ntim Fordjour’s interview with Samson Ayenini on Newsfile which turned salty, resulting in the MP labelling the newsman as “biased” and “hostile”.
The confrontation between the two resulted after Samson Ayenini sought clarity on claims levelled against the government by Ntim Fordjour.
The Minority Caucus in parliament has raised concerns over the increasing incidents of piracy, drug trafficking, and money laundering in Ghana.
Speaking at a press briefing, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, highlighted the urgent need to preserve Ghana’s reputation as one of the most peaceful countries in Africa.
Rev. Fordjour stated, “Ghana in the past eight years, had been ranked favorably by notable global organizations as the second most peaceful country in Africa in respect of crime rate and globally, ahead of Australia and Canada.
“It is therefore imperative that under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, Ghana continues to be safe and not degenerate into a safe haven for pirates, drug trafficking and money laundering.”
The Minority also revealed concerns about two suspicious flights—AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B—that recently landed at Kotoka International Airport from Gran Canaria, a location known for drug trafficking and money laundering. Intelligence suggests these flights carried suspected cocaine and cash.
The Minority demanded full disclosure of the cargo contents to assure Ghanaians of airspace security.
After these concerns were raised by Ntim Fordjour, President John Dramani Mahama, him to collaborate with the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator to immediately investigate his claims.
Addressing the allegation, President Mahama wrote on his Facebook page, “Government takes all allegations seriously, and to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation, I have directed all relevant investigative agencies – including the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator – to immediately and fully collaborate with the honourable member of parliament so he provides all necessary information to investigate the allegations and take all action necessary to expose any drug dealing.”
Ntim Fordjour however refused to collaborate with the above mentioned agencies.
Reacting to Ntim Fordjour’s outburst on his X page, Oh_Menua wrote, “To be direct, I am deeply disappointed in Hon. @NtimFordjour. I’ve followed your recent interviews, and frankly, they’ve been nothing short of embarrassing. When journalists ask tough but fair questions and request evidence to support your claims, you evade them and label them as anti-NPP. That’s not helpful.”
He urged Ntim Fordjour to substantiate his claims with evidence so he can receive unreserved backing from the party and its communicators.
