Accra, Ghana — April 10, 2025
Businessman and politician Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has broken his silence on the shocking events that unfolded yesterday at the residence of Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, describing the incident as “a sad reminder of the troubling times we are living in.”
In a strong and emotionally charged statement shared across all his social media platforms, Hon. Agyapong, who previously served as MP for Assin Central and chaired Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, expressed concern over the implications of the incident for Ghana’s democracy and national security.
“I cannot stay silent,” he stated. “I commend the Minority MPs and patriotic Ghanaians who stood by him in his moment of need. That spirit of solidarity is what gives our democracy its strength.”
Rev. Ntim Fordjour reportedly faced an ordeal at his residence that has sparked nationwide debate and calls for accountability. Although the details of the incident are still unfolding, the reactions from key political figures highlight growing concerns about the state of freedom of expression and the role of state institutions in political discourse.
Hon. Agyapong praised Rev. Fordjour’s courage, describing him as “a man of conviction” who should remain “bold, firm, and resolute” in his stance on national matters. “He has every right to raise concerns that affect our national security and the future of this country,” Agyapong emphasized.
He concluded with a powerful message that has since gone viral: “We may disagree on politics, but we must never use State institutions to silence voices of conscience. Let us rise above fear and restore faith in our democracy.”
As Ghana heads toward the 2028 general elections, this statement adds to growing national conversations on political tolerance, democracy, and the independence of key state bodies. Many have praised Agyapong for his balanced yet firm remarks, with several Ghanaians on social media describing the post as “statesmanlike.”
The aftermath of the Ntim Fordjour case continues to unfold, but one thing is clear — the political landscape is heating up, and the call for integrity and justice is louder than ever.
