At the residence of Rev. Ntim Fordjour, where NPP bigwigs and supporters have gathered in solidarity following the cocaine aircraft allegations, Afenyo Markin delivered a powerful statement, condemning the government’s focus on “trivialities” instead of addressing pressing issues like joblessness and galamsey.
In his direct address monitored by MyNewsGh, Afenyo Markin made it clear that the government should stop its attempts to intimidate Rev. Fordjour, who he praised as a vital member of the NPP caucus and leader of the Defense and Interior Committee.
Markin said, “Joblessness is a major issue. The galamsey crisis is still unresolved. If some agents of the state continue to focus on trivialities, then it will be the beginning of the end for this government.”
He also emphasized that Rev. Fordjour is not alone in this struggle, adding, “Rev. is not a loner. He has never walked alone and will never walk alone. He is the leader of our caucus, and he speaks for us.”
Referring to the mounting pressure from government officials, he added, “Nobody should make any attempt to single him out or try to intimidate him. He will fear no evil because he walks with his God.”
Markin wrapped up his remarks by calling on the government to focus on the real issues and reaffirm the promises made to the people: “Enough is enough! Let’s engage, let’s uphold the constitution, and let’s focus on the issues that matter.”
His impassioned speech resonated with the gathered supporters, as they rallied behind Rev. Fordjour, showing their unwavering solidarity amidst the ongoing controversy.
