Veteran musician Mzbel has sparked fresh discussions about the value of the Ghana Card after facing a challenging travel experience.

The outspoken NDC supporter criticized the card, which outgoing Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has championed as a key identification document, for not helping her in a difficult situation during her travels.

In a video posted on social media, Mzbel shared her experience while trying to return to Ghana with her two children from an undisclosed location.

She explained that she had lost her purse, which contained her passport and other important documents.

When she presented her Ghana Card as proof of identity, airport officials still refused to let her board her flight home.

"I was left stranded because they told me the Ghana Card wasn’t enough for the necessary processes. How does that even make sense when it’s supposed to be our ultimate form of identification?" she questioned.

Mzbel shared that she tried to resolve the issue directly with airport authorities, but her efforts were unsuccessful. This left her with no choice but to reach out to the Ghanaian embassy for help.

She said the incident highlighted flaws in the system, challenging the claims made by Dr. Bawumia, who had promoted the Ghana Card as a revolutionary tool during his time in office.

“This is the same card Bawumia said could be used for everything. So why couldn’t I use it in a situation like this? It’s no surprise he lost so badly in the elections,” Mzbel stated, referencing Dr. Bawumia’s significant defeat in the 2024 NPP presidential primaries.
