The Minority in Parliament has suggested that it would be more beneficial for Ghana if President Akufo-Addo resigns than his recent ministerial reshuffle.
Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minority Leader, believes that Akufo-Addo’s resignation represents the most effective means of putting an end to the suffering and hardship experienced by Ghanaians.
On February 14, President Akufo-Addo announced a significant ministerial reshuffle, which involved the removal of Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta from his duties and affected 13 current ministers of state, including 10 cabinet ministers and two regional ministers.
In a statement issued on the same day, Dr. Forson expressed the belief of the NDC Minority that the optimal solution to address the suffering and hardships of Ghanaians would be for both President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Bawumia to resign.
“The NDC Minority believes that the best way to end the suffering and hardships of Ghanaians would have been for both President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Bawumia to resign,” he said.
The Minority Leader said President Akufo-Addo had remained obstinate and defiant when the subject of reshuffle came up for discussion.
For example, he rebuffed nearly 100 NPP Members of Parliament who demanded the immediate resignation of outgoing Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
