Gomoa Central Member of Parliament, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has slammed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over what he describes as their sudden outspokenness after losing power.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, A Plus accused NPP members of ignoring public concerns during their tenure but now making noise on national issues after their defeat in the 2024 elections.
According to him, this newfound confidence is baffling and irritating.
“Suddenly, the NPP has found their voice after leaving power, and the NDC is sitting aloof. Just three days ago, people were being arrested for expressing their views. But now, I don’t even know where their confidence is coming from, and it makes me angry,” he fumed.
He also criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for being passive despite being in power. “Very soon, they [NPP] will sit on radio and TV and start crying that times are hard, but they suffocated and gagged people when they were in power,” he added.
His comments come amid controversy surrounding two aircraft suspected of engaging in illicit activities in Ghana.
Assin South MP, Rev. Ntim Fordjour, who is the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, has alleged that an air ambulance and a private jet may have been involved in drug trafficking or money laundering.
The flights in question—AirMed flight N823AM and Cavok Air’s Antonov An-12B—reportedly landed at Kotoka International Airport from Gran Canaria, Spain, before departing on March 25, 2025.
Rev. Fordjour claimed that intelligence reports suggested the AirMed flight N823AM, an air ambulance, did not transport any patients but instead carried suspicious cargo, allegedly containing cocaine and US dollars.
President John Mahama has since directed the National Security and relevant authorities to conduct a full-scale investigation into the matter and collaborate fully with the lawmaker.
While welcoming the President’s directive, A Plus urged Ghanaians not to take the NPP’s sudden stance on the issue seriously, dismissing it as mere political maneuvering. However, he expressed confidence that a thorough investigation would uncover the truth surrounding the aircraft’s activities.
