  "account": "Government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu has labeled Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a senior aide from the NPP, as a \"neophyte and a time waster\" in response to Aboagye's criticism of the government's handling of recent cocaine-related cases. Kwakye Ofosu made these remarks in a Facebook post on Thursday, October 1. He challenged Aboagye to consult individuals with institutional memory within the NPP before suggesting that terms like \"Cocaine Coast\" or \"Narcotics People Party\" were unfamiliar in Ghana's history. Kwakye Ofosu's response came after Aboagye's claim that Ghana's recent international drug-trafficking cases had led the country to be dubbed the \"Cocaine Coast,\" accusing the government and security agencies of allowing large amounts of cocaine to be transported through Ghanaian ports before being intercepted in other nations.",
  "summary": "Government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu has described senior NPP aide Dennis Miracles Aboagye as a “neophyte and a time waster” in a sharp response to his comments on Ghana’s alleged links to international cocaine trafficking.",
