Anti-corruption advocate Edem Senanu has criticized Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, for what he describes as reckless allegations lacking evidence.
Rev. Fordjour recently took to Facebook to announce a bombshell exposé titled Suspicious Gran Canaria Flights, alleging that a National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate is connected to a $350 million cocaine bust.
Fordjour claimed $150 million worth of the seized drugs belongs to the candidate, but provided no immediate evidence.
His post has sparked a political firestorm amid ongoing investigations into transnational drug trafficking activities involving flights between Ghana and the Canary Islands.
Speaking on ABC News on Monday, Edem Senanu questioned the credibility of the exposé, warning against politicizing sensitive national security matters.
“Rev. Ntim only spoke. Where are the evidence he spoke of? I don’t think Ghanaians are buying into these stories,” Senanu said.
He further cautioned the opposition, stating, “The minority should think again, they are not the government of day. And this kind of spinning information is not confusing any of us. They don’t seem to have any evidence.”
Senanu also faulted the MP for bypassing parliamentary procedure, explaining that the allegations should have first been referred to a committee for proper scrutiny.
The controversy escalates against a backdrop of public unease following the discovery of counterfeit Bank of Ghana cash boxes and gold-plated metals in Sarpeiman — a separate but equally troubling criminal case raising concerns about institutional integrity and national security.
Meanwhile, the Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has backed Rev. Fordjour’s right to demand transparency but condemned recent insults from Presidential Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who referred to the MP as a “clown.”
Senanu concluded his critique with a warning to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), stating simply: “They should be cautious.”
