Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Foreign Affairs Minister nominee has revealed he is not a coward to delete his social media posts before his vetting.
Ablakwa noted that before his vetting today 31 January 2025 there was fake news circulating that he had been deleting his social media post.
Speaking during his vetting by Parliament’s Appointments Committee, Ablakwa stated, “Will you believe that, on my way to this vetting, a few days to the run-up to this vetting, there was fake news all over that I started deleting my Facebook messages, and my Facebook expose all over people were sharing it?”
“Some people believe that I am indeed deleting my Facebook posts, why would I, I am not a coward, I am not one, I stand by my conviction, and I am a conviction politician so fake news is a real problem but I think that as for social media, it has come to stay let encourage more open governance more transparency and we should be fine with social media”, he added.
Meanwhile, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has detailed that his exposés on wrongdoing have saved Ghana millions of dollars.
According to Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa if Ghana do not remain alert and call out financial irregularities the country will lose vital resources.
He added, “My exposés about wrongdoings have saved this country millions of dollars. If we do not remain alert and call out financial irregularities, Ghana will continue to lose vital resources that could be used for development.
I do not engage in these exposés for personal gain or political advantage. My focus is on ensuring that the hard-earned resources of this country are used prudently and not squandered through shady deals.
I will continue to stand for integrity and accountability. Ghana’s foreign service must reflect these values, ensuring that we serve our people and protect the country’s image internationally”, he revealed.
