‘Low-budget Ablakwa’ – Netizens mock Ntim Fordjour over oversight parliamentary roles

Rev John Ntim Fordjour is the Assin South MP The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has become a topic of discussion online following perceptions by some Ghanaian social media users that Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, is attempting to emulate his oversight roles in Parliament while in opposition. The recent oversight activities of the NPP lawmaker have sparked discussions, particularly regarding his demand for answers concerning the missing ECG containers and the suspected arrival of suspected flights linked to drug trafficking in the country. The Assin South MP, Ntim Fordjour, raised alarm over two suspicious flights, AirMed flight NH23AM and Cavok Air private jet Antonov AN 12 B that supposedly landed in Ghana in March.

According to them, the two flights suspected to be carrying cocaine and an undisclosed amount of cash landed in Ghana between March 20 and March 25, 2025. Addressing a press conference on April 1, 2025, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, said the Minority caucus intercepted an intelligence indicating that an air ambulance landed in Ghana without any referral of patients. However, his oversight actions have been mocked by netizens, who have drawn comparisons to the approach of Ablakwa, highlighting similarities between the two.



Some social media users argued that Ablakwa, now the Minister of Foreign Affairs, effectively carried out his parliamentary oversight roles during his time in opposition by presenting well-supported facts and documents to substantiate his claims against the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) government. On the other hand, some have commended Ntim Fordjour for stepping up to the role and executing it to what they describe as “perfection.” These supporters argue that his actions will keep the government on alert and foster transparency and accountability, ensuring that the government remains answerable to the public.
