Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A Plus and the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central in the Central Region, has urged Ghanaians to disregard the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) uproar concerning alleged drug trafficking flights into the country.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem show, A Plus emphasized the importance of raising concerns when suspicions arise. He stated that anyone who notices something unusual has a duty to investigate and speak out.
“If someone sees something suspicious, they should look into it. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out irregularities. If an apple is placed somewhere, regardless of distractions, it remains an apple,” he remarked.
Defending former President John Mahama, A Plus praised him as a responsible leader who would not hesitate to call for investigations when necessary.
“Mahama is a good person. He has experience and is committed to developing the country,” he commended.
He also questioned the NPP’s sudden outspokenness now that they are in opposition, suggesting they are merely attempting to mislead the public.
“NPP members have suddenly found their voices now that they are no longer in power. I don’t know where their confidence is coming from. They were silent while in government but now that the NDC is in power, they are making noise, spreading falsehoods, and trying to deceive us,” he asserted.
A Plus advised Ghanaians to ignore what he described as distractions from the NPP, arguing that their complaints stem from experiencing the challenges of being in opposition after making life difficult for citizens during their tenure.
“They should take the necessary actions if they have concerns, but the endless talking is unnecessary. Now, they understand what it feels like to be in opposition,” he added.
The controversy surrounding the alleged drug-related flights gained traction after Assin South MP, Ntim Fordjour, raised concerns about two flights—AirMed flight NH23AM and Cavok Air’s Antonov AN 12 B—which reportedly landed in Ghana between March 20 and March 25, 2025.
The NPP has called for investigations into suspicions that these flights carried cocaine and an undisclosed sum of cash, further fueling the ongoing debate.
