The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced an emergency meeting scheduled for Monday, April 7, at its headquarters to deliberate on rising concerns over recent drug trafficking allegations that have shaken public confidence in the government.
This clarification was made by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, who dismissed earlier media reports suggesting the meeting was linked to disciplinary proceedings against former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo.
Speaking on Sunday, April 6, Frimpong said:
“There will be a meeting at the NPP headquarters, but I am going to disappoint you—it is not going to be a discussion on whether or not Honourable Adwoa Safo is going to appear before a disciplinary committee or not.”
He explained that the meeting’s true focus is the growing public outcry and internal discontent within the party regarding how drug trafficking allegations have been handled by state authorities.
“What the party is going to discuss is the running issue with respect to the alleged drug trafficking in our country, which the rank and file of our party have expressed its disappointment [about], and the worrying behaviour of this government,” Frimpong stated.
He criticised the government’s approach to the scandal, pointing to what he described as a troubling pattern of silence, conflicting narratives, and attempts to obscure key facts.
“The several mind-boggling questions that we are expecting the government to explain to the people of Ghana—and also the inconsistencies in its attempt to sweep under the carpet several issues that concern or surround the alleged drug trafficking in our airport,” he added.
The NPP’s decision to officially engage the issue follows mounting pressure from the party grassroots and civil society groups demanding transparency, accountability, and immediate action.
The allegations, which have not yet been fully addressed by government officials, have sparked significant public debate and drawn scrutiny to security protocols at Ghana’s international airports.
