Nana B dismisses passport row as distraction from Ablakwa’s evacuation expenditure

In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Nana B rejected claims by the Majority Caucus on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee that Asafo-Adjei’s criticism of the minister was linked to an alleged attempt to secure an exception to a presidential directive requiring certain former officeholders to surrender their service and diplomatic passports.

New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2nd National Vice Chairman Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has dismissed allegations that Bosome Freho MP Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh is pursuing a personal vendetta against Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa over a passport dispute, insisting that the controversy is a distraction from questions about expenditure on the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa.

Nana B further criticised the Majority for displaying the biodata page of his service passport, which he said remained in the custody of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
