Accra, Ghana - 08 April, 2025 - The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that its immediate priority is addressing the alleged drug trafficking scandal rather than internal party matters involving former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo.

NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, made this known in a Sunday evening interview, stating that the party's scheduled meeting has been postponed to address the gravity of the drug trafficking allegations.

The alleged drug trafficking scandal has sparked widespread concern, with many questioning the government's handling of the situation. The NPP believes this issue requires urgent attention and critical engagement with the government, considering it a matter of national interest.

Adwoa Safo's Situation
Adwoa Safo, who was set to appear before the party's disciplinary committee, has had her situation overshadowed by the alleged drug trafficking scandal. Her supporters stormed the NPP headquarters ahead of her scheduled appearance, expressing their loyalty.

NPP's Stance
Justin Kodua Frimpong emphasized that Ghanaians deserve answers from the government, expressing disappointment in the government's handling of the situation.

“There is not going to be any discussion on whether or not Honourable Adwoa Safo is going to appear before any committee or not. What the party is going to discuss is the running issue with respect to the alleged drug trafficking in our country,” he stressed.

“Our priority now is the alleged drug trafficking scandal, not internal party politics. Ghanaians deserve answers from the government. We expect transparency, accountability, and clarity on this matter.''

“The rank and file of our party have expressed disappointment at the worrying behaviour of this government. There are several mind-boggling questions we expect the government to answer. The attempt to sweep these critical issues under the carpet is unacceptable,” Mr. Kodua added.
