NDC’s Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says there is nothing wrong if he owns filling stations in Accra and fleets of petrol tanker vehicles as been purported.
According to him, it’s good to be tagged as being wealthy but its unfortunate he doesn’t own all what he has been affiliated with.
“What is wrong if I own a filling station? Haven’t you seen many politicians with so many properties and businesses?” he asked NEAT FM’s morning show host Kwesi Aboagye
Mr. Ablakwa however described the rumours of him owning filling stations among other properties from state funds as mischievous and attempts to cast aspersions on his hard- won reputation.
"I am not into oil business and I leave those who have concocted the rumours to their conscience and into the hands of God," he said
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, the North Tongu NDC Member of Parliament explained, however, that his uncle, one Mr. Ablakwa who had been in the oil business for the past 17 years, is the owner of the Allied Oil Company and wondered whether his detractors were linking him to his uncle’s company.
“My uncle has been in oil business long before I came into politics, I was in kindergarten then. I suspect that is confusing people. We are not the same. There are so many Okudzetos in Ghana. My grandfather has 68 children. I am not in any filling stations business” he noted
He also dared the Nana Addo-led government to investigate him - “The NPP is in power now so they can investigate me if they think I stole state money to acquire that. Is it a crime to own a filling station? It’s not a criminal offence if I own one and we have to understand that.”

What is wrong with you owning fuel stations Mr Ablakwa-Okudzeto is you were only able to do this based on the fact you went into politics. There are mates of yours who you finished Legon with who are walking the streets of Accra and dont even have a job yet you are able to a mass wealth "extraordinaire".Good on you. Enjoy it whiles you can, matey!.
you had your honey moon in the United States when you have never worked long enough to save that much on wedding holiday. how come a car wash boy stole ¢50,000.00 in your car. how much was your salary then. please spare us the 'holier than thou' attitude. balawoo with a sharp teeth.
If people have stolen our money through dubious means, we should not wait and expect God to punish them. The Law should deal with them.
Indeed there is nothing wrong with owning a filling station unless you acquired them within your years in office as government official or with monies made from the office the people gave you...
What Is Wrong If I Own Filling Stations? - Okudzeto Ablakwa Quizzes. IT'S WRONG TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE FILLING STATION. SO THIS MAKES YOU A FU..CKING TH;;IEF
It is wrong for politicians whose sole source of income is their salaries to own properties with values in the hundreds of thousands, and even millions of Ghana Cedis when the taxpayers from whom the monies come can hardly afford three square meals. It is also wrong for politicians to become owners of multi-million Ghana cedis businesses as a result of their links to government, and not as a result of entrepreneurship.
First lady elect on fact you are an ndc ni paa you are just a ***barred word***. Has the special prosecutor been set? The A-G has finished with her part and it is in parliament just relax we are the majority in parliament and it will come on live. Time chukuuuu! You don't mess with the NPP and 2ndly they are not ***barred word*** like you who sent 15 cases with no evidence and lost,they are gathering everything bit by bit so ndc wouldn't have no defence you think they are playing with you? It is part of the promises to Ghanaians to prosecute you and Ghanaians understand they need to gather evidence before,ndc don't worry for the day of reckoning is coming not rush. We need to set on course the policies NPP promised the people before we get hold of you if Nana doesn't do that the people themselves will drag you to face the law ,you are just st*pid to think nothing has been done to you yet. It is coming and they will leave no stone unturned.
Hard-won reputation from which institution? Your pay within 8years can't provide you that kind of wealth. You earned through dubious means such as Fake judgement debt, through Bukater and mainly gargantuan corruption. Your reputation is a very weak one Hon.
I KNOW THIS OKUDZATO GUY WILL SUFFER IN LIFE ONE DAY. AFTER STOLEN OUR MONIES YOU DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG ABOUT THAT. THE GOOD LORD WHO PUNISHES SINNERS WILL LET YOU , YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN TO SUFFER ONE DAY LIKE GERHAZI IN THE BIBLE.YOU WILL NEVER SEE PEACE ON YOUR DOOR STEPS FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE IS GOD. UGL1 AND F00L11SH PERSON LIKE YOU.
Stop the insults and point to one filling station that is owned by him. Is it a crime to be in politics? Let's be civil and stop behaving like we are still in the age of Mansa Musa. No wonder good people are refusing to involve themselves in politics.
