According to reports from GhanaWeb, Yaw Asani Tano sharply criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing it of having a longstanding history of engaging in propaganda.
He cited political history dating back to the era of J.B. Danquah to support his claims, suggesting that misinformation has long been part of the party’s tactics.
His remarks drew immediate backlash from Adomako-Mensah, who accused him of unfairly targeting the NPP and serving as a mouthpiece for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The MP warned that such repeated attacks would not go unanswered in the future, implying that others within the party were also taking note of Tano’s comments.
“I can tell you that the political party I belong to we are also observing you. Maybe, one day, you might meet someone who will respond to you in equal measure,” he warned.
Adomako-Mensah expressed disbelief at attempts to link the NPP to the recent drug trafficking and money laundering allegations, which stemmed from the landing of two foreign aircraft at Kotoka International Airport under suspicious circumstances.
He questioned the relevance of bringing J.B. Danquah into the conversation and challenged the logic behind blaming the NPP for the situation.
He also took issue with Asani Tano’s perceived support for figures aligned with the current administration, especially following comments made by a government spokesperson, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, who allegedly described a sitting MP as a clown.
Adomako-Mensah criticized Tano for aligning himself with such rhetoric.
The heated exchange follows public accusations by Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, MP for Assin South, who raised alarms about the nature of two aircraft that arrived in March 2025.
He suggested the flights may be linked to illicit activities, claims that have sparked significant political tension and a strong reaction from various quarters.
