‘It’s not a matter of evidence; it was a metaphor’ – Afenyo-Markin defends ‘drug lab’ comment

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has defended his description of Ghana as a potential “hub” for cocaine-related activities, insisting that the comment was metaphorical and intended to provide context to concerns raised by government officials.

Speaking in an interview on Adom TV’s Badwam, Mr Afenyo-Markin said the comment was based on concerns over cocaine allegedly passing through Ghana’s borders and statements attributed to government officials about possible official involvement.

According to him, the statement should not be interpreted as a claim requiring him to provide evidence of Ghana being a cocaine hub.
