Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. Dr. John Ntim Fordjour, has strongly criticised President John Dramani Mahama’s first 100 days in office, describing it as not only underwhelming but also marked by political persecution and fear tactics.
Speaking to the media at a homecoming event in Assin Odumase last Saturday, Rev. Ntim Fordjour accused President Mahama of using his early days in power to target former New Patriotic Party (NPP) appointees. He alleged that masked armed men raided the homes of several former officials, including himself, former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, and the immediate past Governor of the Bank of Ghana—actions he claimed left families traumatized and properties seized without legal basis.
He also expressed concern over rising power outages, popularly known as dumsor, and the mass dismissal of over 23,000 public sector workers despite campaign promises to create jobs.
Rev. Ntim Fordjour further accused the Mahama administration of allowing narcotic activities to flourish, claiming that a suspicious aircraft allegedly carrying narcotic substances landed at Kotoka International Airport on January 18, 2025, and remained on the tarmac for five days. He said his attempts to demand transparency on the incident as the Ranking Member for Defence and Interior resulted in harassment and a raid on his residence.
Citing reports from Hopeson Adorye about the aircraft’s contents being moved in a private vehicle to an unknown location, Rev. Fordjour called for a full investigation, warning that if the claims are proven, it would expose a troubling national security breach under the new administration.
