Manasseh Azure Awuni, an award-winning investigative journalist, has praised Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, Ablakwa has proven that, without procurement and projects, a ministry can be visibly impactful.
He highlighted that Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister is helping the country rediscover its Nkrumah days glory as a leader of the continent and a torchbearer of the black race.

Becoming a minister of state after being the leading light in highlighting the rot of the previous administration, many on the touchline of opposition probably waited for Mr Ablakwa to flop so they could gloat. Today, some of those people may have changed their minds and are admiring quietly.
Nothing engenders patriotism more than knowing that your country will not abandon you when you get stranded.
I’m particularly proud of how the Israelis were swiftly denied entry into Ghana and returned home after they denied Ghanaians entry into Israel.
Long may this continue.
If such hard work and zeal are replicated in other ministries and sectors, the numerous Ghanaians sitting on the fence of ambivalence and despair would come forward and play their part as we mend our broken nation.
Kudos, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa!”.
Meanwhile, the March and March Movement, a South African group leading the campaign for the removal of foreign nationals from the country, has expressed dissatisfaction with the government of Ghana.
According to the March and March Movement leader Jancita Ngobese-Zuma, the Ghanaian government is engaging in PR to make South Africa look bad.
She stressed that the Ghanaian government is overreacting to the issue and attempting to portray South Africa as xenophobic.
In a press conference, the group disclosed that they have great respect for Ghana as a country, but believe it is dishonest for the government to claim that Ghanaian citizens were assaulted when, in their view, they were only engaging with an individual who had allegedly breached the immigration laws of the country.
The March and March Movement labelled the Ghanaian government as disappointing and largely dishonest.
Speaking in a viral video shared on X, the March and March Movement stated, “The Ghanaian government really overreacted; it is disappointing. We have a lot of respect for Ghana as a country, and the people of Ghana, we still do. But for them to react in the way that they did is largely dishonest. Because for them to claim their people were beaten up when they know they were not beaten up, even the Minister of Police echoed that it is absolutely ridiculous.
What we saw in that video is Victoria Africa. talking to someone who has broken the laws of the country, and coming legally and staying illegally. Instead of addressing that in a correct manner, they decided to do a whole PR exercise to paint South Africa as xenophobic”.
