Ntim Fordjour slams Ablakwa over presidential jet saga

Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, has called on Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to resign, apologise to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and support the acquisition of a new presidential jet.

In a social media post on Monday, August 18, Rev Fordjour criticised the Minister and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for what he described as “petty politics” over presidential travels.

“Mr Principle, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ghana, is expecting your resignation. NDC must apologise to Ghanaians and Prez Akufo-Addo for doing petty politics with presidential travels,” Rev Fordjour wrote.

He argued that safety concerns surrounding the presidential aircraft were too critical to be politicised and demanded a more pragmatic approach to addressing the issue.

“Govt must be bold to submit a proposal for the acquisition of a new Presidential Jet for the President’s safety,” he insisted.

Laurent Gbagbo "I refrain from debating what he did or did not do (... ). He implemented certain policies, some of which were advantageous, but others also implemented policies and departed. When our tasks are complete, we depart. It is unreasonable to assert: the manner in which I did things, I must stay." I request that you inform Ouattara that you reject the 4th mandate. I am opposed to a 4th term."

BREAKING: MALI, BURKINA FASO & NIGER SIGN MEMORANDUM EXPANDING MILITARY TIES WITH RUSSIA 💪🏽

Moscow is ready to provide security assistance to Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger to combat terrorism and armed groups destabilizing the Sahel, the Russian Defense Ministry has said. The West African countries have faced a decade-long jihadist insurgency that has killed thousands and displaced millions, reports RT.
The ministry made the commitment during the first consultation between the defense departments of Russia and the member countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).

“We support your position on the need to strengthen security, protect territories and sovereignty,” Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov to his Burkinabe, Malian, and Nigerien counterparts, according to an official press release.

The jihadist insurgency in the Sahel began in northern Mali in 2012 and has since spilled over to Burkina Faso and Niger Republic despite years of Western military intervention. The violence has fueled political instability, prompting coups in all three states since 2020 and the creation of their security alliance in 2023. The transitional governments in Bamako, Niamey, and Ouagadougou have since forged stronger ties with Russia, expanding security cooperation after severing defense cooperation with former colonial partner France and also the U.S. The three former French colonies have accused Paris in particular of acts of aggression and of prolonging instability in the Sahel under the guise of counterterrorism operations.

On Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry and the AES states signed a memorandum of understanding, signaling an expansion of military ties. (I predicted this during Ibrahim Traore’s last trip to Russia.)

Speaking on behalf of the Sahel alliance, Malian Defense Minister Sadio Camara said defense remains the largest area of cooperation between Russia and the three countries. He welcomed the inaugural meeting of the security chiefs as “a common desire to strengthen the strategic partnership.”
Thank you, Russia!
