The Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, has strongly critisied the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government on their level of resistance to respond to his request, saying they should stop the threats and level of intolerance they are portraying on pertinent issues of national interest.

He said the NDC can persecute, arrest, jail or do whatever to him, but it will not gag him or the Minority from exposing the rots that can affect the country’s progress under their government.

The Assin South Constituency MP made the statement on Good Morning Ghana on Friday, April 4, 2025, adding that the President John Dramani Mahama-led government is shielding the security from issuing a statement on his request because it will expose some big politicians in their party.

”You’re gagging the security from issuing a statement on my demands because some NDC politicians will be exposed when the statement comes out. The level of intolerance in the NDC government has not been seen before.

“I am not scared of arrest, I am ready for all that. I won’t be the first to be jailed, persecuted politically, harmed, assassinated by the NDC. If you take me out, 87 Minority MPs will carry on,” he added.

Rev Ntim Fordjour noted that he needs only an update regarding the two aircrafts — AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B — which he alleged had carried cocaine and cash into the country and nothing else.

Reacting to the controversies regarding his request, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, the Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, assured Ntim Fordjour that the NDC government will investigate the issue and whoever is found culpable will be dealt with by the law.

He challenged Fordjour that the information is a public document which is accessible to everyone upon request, so he did not get it through any intelligence.

"Claiming you got the information from intelligence is false. That is a public document; you request and it will be handed, so, you got no intelligence,” he stated.

The Majority Whip, who is also the MP for South Dayi, noted that the government will dig to the root of the matter and anyone found guilty of peddling falsehoods against the government to make it unpopular will be made to face the law.

He said that the NDC is accountable and will provide necessary information of any government activity to the public.

“We are not a government that will seize 400-500 excavators and cannot trace one. We will account for everything that comes to the state by way of confiscation and seizure and use the procedure laid down under the law to get those properties to the state,” he added.
