Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has stated that the Minority caucus is solidly behind Assin South MP, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the suspicious flights saga.
In a press conference on Wednesday, Afenyo-Markin drew inspiration from Liverpool Football Club’s famous slogan and declared that Rev. Fordjour is not a loner and will never walk alone.
This statement follows an incident in which officials of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) reportedly besieged Rev. Fordjour’s residence at Spintex with the intention of arresting him.
Afenyo-Markin emphasized that the Minority and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would strongly resist any attempts at intimidation by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He stressed that Rev. Fordjour, who serves as the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, speaks for the entire Minority caucus and represents its views.
“He is not a loner, he has not walked alone, and he will never walk alone. As a caucus, we have our various committee heads, and he is the leader of the Defence and Interior Committee of our caucus. He speaks for the caucus, and he expresses the views of the caucus,” Afenyo-Markin stated.
He continued, “So, nobody should make any attempt to single him out and try to intimidate him. He walks through this unfortunate valley of the shadow of death, but he will fear no evil. Because he walks with his God and the strength of the mighty 88 behind him.”
Afenyo-Markin’s comments come in the wake of the ongoing investigation into the allegations concerning suspicious flights linked to drug trafficking and money laundering, with Rev. Fordjour himself alleging that these flights may have been transporting illicit substances, including cocaine and large sums of U.S. dollars.
