The youth division of Ghana's opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) held a protest against Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, accusing him of financial misconduct in the repatriation of Ghanaians from South Africa. The demonstrators, clad in red and black, gathered in Accra and held placards demanding answers to questions about the evacuation costs and expenditures.
The NPP's Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Committee, Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh, alleged inconsistencies in the minister's expenditure records and called for an independent audit. The National Youth Organiser of the NPP, Abanga Fuseini Yakubu, demanded accountability from the government, asserting that the funds could have been better utilized for other pressing issues such as cocoa farmers and nursing trainees.
The protesters chanted "Ablakwa Must Go" and presented their petition to the Deputy Chief of Staff, Shamima Muslim, at the Jubilee House.
