In a Facebook post, Kossi Akplah said that he would give the money to those who need to travel to exercise their franchise because he can't make it.

“Guys, I cannot come down to vote this Saturday. However, I have been saving for this purpose and now have a few thousand cedis saved to help support folks who would have to travel to vote but cannot afford to because of how difficult life has been under this Bawumia/Nana government. This also shows you how strongly I believe this government needs to be booted out.”
