Leading the charge against the president over the use of the jet is North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who asserts that President Akufo-Addo is engaging in profligate spending. Reacting to this, Hopeson Adorye who was booted out of the National Security as a deputy coordinator said Ablakwa was engaging in propaganda. President Akufo-Addo has picked a commercial flight before. “If Ghana was your private company and you’ve bought a private jet, would you do that? Would you abandon the jet and use a private jet?

The premise of his position is the renting of a $15,000 per hour plane for nine-day foreign travel by President Akufo-Addo. In an interview with Okay FM, Okudzeto quizzed President Akufo-Addo if he would have embarked on such profligacy if Ghana was a private company he owed. “If Ghana was your private company and you’ve bought a private jet, would you do that? Would you abandon the jet and use a private jet? He noted, "He (President Akufo-Addo) uses the jet in Ghana for his local travel and his West African travels."

He made this revelation on Metro TV while highlighting what he observes to be a show of opulence by President Akufo-Addo and his government. He rented that one from Accra to Madrid to watch a Champions League final between Tottenham and Liverpool. He also explained why President Akufo-Addo no longer does long trips with the presidential jet. “The claim that President Akufo-Addo has decided not to use the presidential jet is not true. He noted, "He (President Akufo-Addo) uses the jet in Ghana for his local travel and for his West Africa travel."

Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo program, Allotey Jacobs said the write ups released by Martin Amidu are aimed at the presidency with Nana Akufo-Addo being the focus of the attacks.

So, in much the same way as for the Group Phase, Goal picks through the notable African performers in the Champions League Knockout Stage.
