Assin South Member of Parliament, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has firmly denied allegations linking him to threats of violence in the lead-up to the Akwatia by-election.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday, July 29, the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee described the reports circulating on social media as “malicious” and “false.”
“I wish to state unequivocally that such headlines, captions, and statements are false and are only intended to create public disaffection for me,” he said.
Rev. Ntim Fordjour emphasized that he has never, at any time, issued threats of bloodshed or violence in any electoral process.
“I want to assure the general public that under no circumstances will I be involved in acts of violence—much less threatening the same,” he added.
Reaffirming his long-standing opposition to electoral violence, he pointed to his consistent public calls for peace and accountability.
“I have on many occasions urged the State to take steps to prosecute perpetrators of such offences to serve as deterrence and to prevent violence and bloodshed in future elections,” the MP noted.
He urged the public to disregard the reports and “treat them with the contempt they deserve.”
Rev. Fordjour also cautioned those behind the false claims to desist from such actions, warning that they harm the reputations of innocent individuals and pose a threat to national peace and stability.
