Deputy Education Minister and Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, says recent revelations surrounding the controversial flights between Ghana and Gran Canaria have validated his earlier concerns about potential misconduct and a government cover-up.

Fordjour, a vocal critic of the government’s handling of the affair, took to social media to express what he described as a moment of vindication. “The Mighty Minority has been vindicated at last in the suspicious Gran Canaria Flights to Ghana,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The controversy revolves around a series of chartered flights between Ghana and Gran Canaria, a Spanish island long associated with transnational trafficking networks. Opposition lawmakers had raised alarms over unusual flight activity and possible links to illicit operations, including drug smuggling. These concerns were initially brushed aside by government officials, who insisted there was no wrongdoing.

Minister of State Felix Kwakye Ofosu previously attempted to calm public concern by presenting what he claimed was definitive evidence clearing the flights of suspicion. However, that move has backfired as inconsistencies have since emerged, undermining the credibility of the evidence and raising fresh questions about transparency.

“Felix Kwakye Ofosu must resign for willfully publishing false evidence to cover crimes,” Fordjour added in his statement, intensifying pressure on the government and reigniting calls for a broader investigation.

Public trust in the official narrative has eroded as new information suggests that the initial dismissals may have been premature or deliberately misleading. Civil society groups and opposition figures are now demanding an independent inquiry, citing the need to restore confidence in the institutions responsible for aviation oversight and national security.
