Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has assured Ghanaians that Assin South MP, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has the full backing of the Minority caucus amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the suspicious flights saga.

“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 declared during a press conference on Wednesday.

The statement follows reports that officials from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) had visited Rev. Fordjour’s residence in Spintex with intentions of arresting him.

Afenyo-Markin condemned the move, describing it as an attempt to intimidate the MP, who serves as the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee.

He further emphasized that Rev. Fordjour is not acting alone but represents the collective voice of the Minority caucus.

“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 added.

The controversy revolves around allegations of suspicious flights linked to drug trafficking and money laundering.

Rev. Fordjour has alleged that these flights may have been transporting illicit substances, including cocaine and large sums of U.S. dollars.

As investigations continue, Afenyo-Markin’s remarks highlight the solidarity within the Minority caucus and their commitment to protecting their members from undue pressure.
