The Member of Parliament (MP) for Gomoa Central in the Central Region, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has advised Ghanaians to disregard the noise from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding the alleged drug trafficking flights into the country.
Speaking on the matter in an interview on Adom FM Dwaso Nsem show, A Plus stated that if anyone observes something suspicious, it is their duty to speak out and investigate.
“If someone sees something, then they have to investigate. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out something you’ve noticed. If they put an apple here, no matter the distraction, it will remain an apple,” he noted.
A Plus defended former President John Mahama, adding that he is someone who would even call for investigations when necessary.
“Mahama is a good human being. He’s been there, has the experience, and is ready to build the country,” he lauded.
In response to the NPP’s recent vocal outbursts, A Plus questioned their sudden confidence now that they are no longer in power.
“NPP people now have the courage to speak now that they have left power. I don’t know where they got their confidence from. Now that the NDC is in power, the NPP has started talking. They’re just talking, lying, and throwing dust into our eyes,” he claimed.
The lawmaker stated that Ghanaians should not take the NPP seriously, as he believes they are simply trying to distract the public with unnecessary noise.
“They have suddenly found their voice. If they have issues, they should go ahead and do the needful, but the talking is too much. Now they are seeing how it feels to be in opposition after making things difficult for Ghanaians during their tenure.”
The issue of the suspicious flights has sparked debate, particularly after the Assin South MP, Ntim Fordjour, raised concerns over two flights – AirMed flight NH23AM and Cavok Air private jet Antonov AN 12 B – which allegedly landed in Ghana between March 20 and March 25, 2025.
These flights are suspected of carrying cocaine and an undisclosed amount of cash, and the NPP has called for investigations into the matter.
