There is no need for me to apologize – Ablakwa on state land bought by Akufo-Addo’s children

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in his vetting for the position of Foreign Minister, was asked to address allegations he made in December 2024 regarding the acquisition of state lands by the children of President Nana Akufo-Addo.

The Lands Commission’s response, which Ablakwa had previously cited, indicated that the lands were not state-owned but were part of an estate held by the late Justice Johnson S. A.

In response, Ablakwa explained: “When I put out that article, I supported it with evidence from the Lands Commission. I conducted an official search and published the results.

“The Lands Commission confirmed in their response that these lands were government lands.”

He continued: “I was merely asking a question based on the official search results. My inquiry was: Is this another instance of state capture?”

He further argued, “There is no need for me to apologize. The focus should be on reforming the Lands Commission to prevent future inaccuracies in the data they provide.

“If you believe the Lands Commission misled me, then we should work together to ensure their data is accurate.”

Ablakwa concluded by reiterating his point: “We need to address the system that led to the misinformation and ensure that the public gets accurate records from the Lands Commission.”
