Hopeson Adorye To Seize Control of Kotoka Airport to Block NPP Officials from Fleeing
Hopeson Adorye, the Director for Special Duties in Alan Kyeremanteng’s Movement of Change, has sparked controversy by reportedly aiming to take control of Kotoka International Airport.
The dramatic move is aimed at preventing appointees of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from leaving the country amid ongoing political tensions following Ghana’s recent general elections.
In a post on social media, Adorye declared, “No government official is travelling from now. I am taking over the airport with immediate effect.”
His statement has quickly gained traction, with many speculating that the move is a response to allegations of corruption and fears that some government officials may be attempting to flee the country to avoid potential prosecution.
The situation at Kotoka International Airport has caused significant concern, with questions raised about the legality and potential consequences of Adorye’s actions.
While some view the move as a strategic attempt to assert political influence, others are concerned about the broader implications for the country’s stability.
The airport, which serves as a vital international gateway, is now at the center of a developing political standoff.
This isn’t Adorye’s first brush with controversy. He was dismissed from the KIA VVIP section in 2019 and fired from the National Security Secretariat in 2022, incidents that have made him a divisive figure in Ghanaian politics.
Despite the criticism, Adorye has received public support from his wife, the renowned Ghanaian gospel singer Empress Gifty, who has shown unwavering solidarity with her husband and their shared values.
As coalitions continue to form to determine the winner of the recent elections, the unfolding situation at Kotoka Airport highlights the deep political divisions within the country.
The full implications of Adorye’s actions are still unfolding, and it remains to be seen whether the standoff will escalate further or be resolved peaceful.
