Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Jantuah has pushed back against allegations of political intimidation in the wake of the attempted arrest of Assin South Member of Parliament, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Jantuah insisted there was no campaign to target individuals unjustly, urging those concerned to use proper channels instead of resorting to the media.
“Don’t use the media to talk about the image of your country. If you have concerns, you should trust the Speaker and bring the matter to them, especially when it is of national interest.
“Who would leave a plane with cocaine on it for five days? It doesn’t make sense,” she remarked, referencing recent controversial developments.
She stressed that no one was being unfairly targeted, saying, “No one is intimidating anybody. He needs to stand firm and go through whatever comes his way. If he hasn’t done anything wrong, the truth will eventually come out.”
Addressing broader claims of harassment, Jantuah pointed out, “Who has actually done anything to someone, apart from Fordjour?” — indicating that the MP’s situation was being treated as an isolated case.
The comments come in response to an incident on Wednesday, April 9, when operatives from the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) reportedly attempted to arrest Rev Fordjour at his Spintex residence in Accra, prompting a wave of criticism and solidarity from political allies.
