Baba Sadiq and Ken Ofori-Atta
Showbiz investor, Baba Sadiq, has urged politicians to be cautious of how they wield power while in office.
In light of the shock and disappointment Ghanaians felt upon hearing that former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta had been declared a fugitive by the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Baba Sadiq has reflected on Ofori-Atta’s ‘untouchable’ status during the Akufo-Addo administration.
Baba Sadiq recalled how even several Members of Parliament from Ofori-Atta’s own party attempted to remove him from office and lost their seats in the process.
He added that no one could have predicted that Ofori-Atta, once seen as untouchable, would eventually be declared a fugitive.
“Power is indeed transient. Who could have thought KOA would today be a fugitive in the same country where even 90 MPs of his party couldn’t even upstage him? Some even lost their seats for just daring to remove him a few months ago. Powerful lessons to guide us,” he said.
Baba Sadiq’s comments followed a press briefing by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), which on February 12, 2025, declared Ken Ofori-Atta wanted.
Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng emphasised that Ofori-Atta must return to Ghana immediately to face questioning over multiple corruption investigations, including cases linked to the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), and other undisclosed matters.
