National 2nd Vice-Chairman of the NPP, Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), has launched a scathing attack on Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, describing him as the “most immature and unprofessional minister” he has ever encountered.
Nana B made the remarks during an appearance on Adom FM’s Morning Show on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, while expressing his displeasure over what he considers the minister’s unprofessional handling of an issue involving his service passport.
According to Nana B, his dealings with the Foreign Affairs Minister over the matter have left him disappointed, prompting him to question Ablakwa’s approach to official responsibilities.
The NPP figure did not mince words in expressing his frustration with the minister, accusing him of demonstrating immaturity and a lack of professionalism in dealing with the service passport issue.
Describing Ablakwa as the most immature and unprofessional minister he had ever seen, Nana B made it clear that he was unhappy with how the matter had been handled.
His comments have brought renewed attention to the conduct of public officials and the importance of professionalism in the discharge of ministerial responsibilities.
The disagreement centres on Nana B’s service passport and his concerns about how the Foreign Affairs Minister dealt with him over the matter.
Service passports are official travel documents issued to eligible individuals in connection with specific government or official duties. Issues involving their issuance, use or withdrawal can attract public interest, particularly when they involve prominent political figures.

Nana B’s criticism places the spotlight on the relationship between political figures and public officials, raising questions about communication, fairness and the manner in which official matters are handled.
However, the specific details of the exchange between Nana B and Ablakwa, as well as the minister’s response to the allegations, would be necessary to provide a complete account of the dispute.
Nana B’s remarks represent his own assessment of the minister’s conduct in relation to the passport issue. The minister’s side of the story would be important in establishing the full circumstances surrounding the disagreement.
As the controversy unfolds, attention is likely to focus on the details of the passport dispute and whether the Foreign Affairs Minister will respond to Nana B’s criticism.
The Controversy (Passport Dispute):
The parliamentary Majority Caucus alleged that Nana B attempted to lobby Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to retain a service passport (SS-003454), a claim that Nana B has strongly denied. Figures like Samuel Abu Jinapor have dismissed the allegations as a diversionary tactic from debates over government expenditure.
