His Cup Is Full; Why Are His Own Party Members Silent? — Bryan Buabeng Questions Support For Ablakwa

Former presidential staffer under ex-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Samuel Bryan Buabeng, has criticised what he described as the silence of some members of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) amid controversies surrounding Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Buabeng questioned the level of support Ablakwa enjoys within his own political party, arguing that the apparent reluctance of some NDC members to publicly defend the minister raises concerns about his standing among party colleagues.

Buabeng also challenged Ablakwa’s public image, describing him as a selfish politician who, in his opinion, would put his personal interests ahead of others when faced with difficult situations.

He further criticised what he considered the minister’s holier-than-thou attitude, claiming that it had made it difficult for him to receive sympathy from some people, including members of his own party.

The former presidential staffer suggested that the controversies surrounding Ablakwa were gradually catching up with him, adding that he believed the minister was facing the consequences of his previous political conduct.

Buabeng also discussed the possible implications of the situation for Ghana’s diplomatic leadership. He referenced Bole Condoleezza Rice, whom he claimed had been interested in securing the position from the beginning, while questioning her public standing compared with other prominent figures.

Among those he mentioned were former Foreign Affairs Ministers Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey and Hanna Tetteh, Ghanaian diplomat Martha Pobee, and former Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

His comments have added to the political discussion surrounding Ablakwa and the controversies involving the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

However, the criticisms and comparisons expressed in Buabeng’s Facebook post represent his personal views and should not be interpreted as established facts about the minister or the individuals mentioned.
