FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 10, 2025

PRESS RELEASE BY CONCERNED CITIZENS OF ASSIN SOUTH CONSTITUENCY

We stand with Hon. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour: An Attack on One Is an Attack on All

We, the concerned citizens and residents of the Assin South Constituency, have received with grave concern and utter disappointment reports of an attempted arrest of our Member of Parliament, Hon. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, at his private residence earlier today.

This unwarranted act by state security agencies is not only an affront to his liberty and a blatant abuse of power, but it is also a dangerous signal to all well-meaning Ghanaians who seek to uphold truth, transparency, and national interest. Hon. Ntim Fordjour, in his capacity as Ranking Member of the Defense and Interior Committee of Parliament, raised genuine concerns regarding suspicious flights into the country that potentially point to illicit drug trafficking and money laundering. Rather than treating this matter with the seriousness it deserves, the response of the government and its agencies has been to intimidate and silence a lawmaker fulfilling his constitutional duty of oversight.

We strongly condemn this action and view it as a direct attack on the people of Assin South, whose democratic will and voice Rev. Ntim Fordjour represents. Any attempt to persecute him is an attempt to silence our entire constituency and to undermine the very foundation of our democracy.

We, the people of Assin South:
* Stand firmly with Hon. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour.
* Demand an immediate halt to any further attempts to intimidate or arrest him.
* Call on Parliament, civil society organizations, and all democracy-loving Ghanaians to speak out against this abuse of power.
* Insist that the allegations he has raised regarding national security be investigated independently and thoroughly.

We reaffirm our full support for our MP and assure him that he does not stand alone. His boldness in speaking truth to power is a reflection of the courage, values, and integrity of the people of Assin South.
Let it be known that we will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated. We stand by the truth, and we stand by Hon. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour.

Speaker: Emmanuel Adu Gyamfi (Youth Leader)
