The Minority in Parliament believes that President Akufo-Addo’s resignation would be more beneficial to Ghana than his recent ministerial reshuffle.
According to Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson, Akufo-Addo’s resignation is the most effective way to alleviate Ghanaians’ suffering and hardship.
In a major ministerial shuffle announced on February 14, President Akufo-Addo relieved Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta of his duties, affecting 13 current ministers of state, including 10 cabinet ministers and two regional ministers.
In a statement issued the same day, Dr. Forson expressed the NDC Minority’s belief that the best way to address Ghanaians’ suffering and hardships would be for both President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Bawumia to step down.
“The NDC Minority feels that the resignations of Vice President Alhaji Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo would have been the best way to put an end to the suffering and hardships of Ghanaians.”
The Minority Leader claimed that whenever the topic of a reshuffle was brought up for discussion, President Akufo-Addo had consistently shown defiance and stubbornness.
He went on, “For instance, he turned down nearly 100 NPP lawmakers who called for the resignation of departing Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta immediately.”
