Janet Asana Nabla, Chairperson of the People’s National Party (PNP), has urged former President John Mahama to remove Felix Kwakye Ofosu from his position as spokesperson.
This follows concerns over recent comments made by Kwakye Ofosu regarding alleged drug trafficking and money laundering involving two aircraft that transited through Ghana.
The call came after a heated exchange on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) between Mr. Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister for Government Communications, and Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee. Kwakye Ofosu, in his response to criticism, referred to Rev. Fordjour as a “clown,” adding to the controversy surrounding the alleged drug-related flights.
In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show, Janet Nabla criticized the government’s communication on the matter, particularly a letter from the Flagstaff House which dismissed the allegations without offering clarity.
She expressed concerns over Mr. Kwakye Ofosu’s explanation, claiming it raised more questions than answers.
“If someone tries so hard to convince people, it creates more doubt. Every single flight that passes through Ghana’s borders must go through all security checks. How were two flights checked and the third wasn’t?” she asked.
Ms. Nabla also highlighted the dangers of drug trafficking to the nation’s youth, warning against allowing Ghana to become a transit point for illegal substances. She urged President Mahama to act decisively.
“Felix Kwakye Ofosu isn’t just communicating for Mahama, but for all of Ghana. We don’t need people who don’t tell the truth as communicators,” she concluded.
