Government would be helpless if it relies on NPP for drug intelligence – Miracles Aboagye
Senior aide to NPP flagbearer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, says the government would be demonstrating its helplessness if it has to rely on the opposition party for intelligence to tackle Ghana’s drug trafficking problem.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a senior aide to the NPP flagbearer, has criticized the government's reliance on the opposition party for intelligence to tackle Ghana's drug trafficking issue. This comes after NDC Deputy Director of Elections and IT, Rashid Tanko-Computer, suggested that some NPP members could be approached for information on drug-related activities.
During an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story, Aboagye emphasized that security agencies should seek assistance from anyone with relevant information, but stressed that they should not depend on the opposition. He questioned Tanko-Computer's announcement, calling it threatening, and argued that security agencies should not be seen as subservient to the NDC.
Aboagye urged the government to pursue intelligence from any source if it could help address the drug trafficking problem, including opposition politicians, religious leaders, and traditional authorities. He stressed that the ultimate goal should be to restore Ghana's reputation, which has been tarnished by recent drug trafficking cases.
Aboagye expressed concern about the government relying on the opposition for information to tackle the issue, as it would question the government's capacity to address the challenge independently.
