Outspoken media personality and musician, Abubakar Ahmed known populary as Blakk Rasta, has taken a swipe at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for postponing a ministerial reshuffle until the eleventh hour.Blakk Rasta argues that the dismissal of Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang-Manu and Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta should have happened much earlier to salvage Ghana's struggling economy.
Expressing his discontent on the UrbanBlend show, Blakk Rasta accused Akufo-Addo of negligence, asserting, "He arrogantly sat watching as the ship was sinking. Today, everybody is drowned; that is when he is pulling out life jackets for people to wear."He criticised the President for contributing to the economic hardship faced by Ghanaians by retaining underperforming ministers for an extended period.
In a recent shake-up on February 14, 2024, President Akufo-Addo relieved 13 central and local government ministers of their duties, including Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and Roads and Highways Minister Kwasi Amoako-Atta.Blakk Rasta emphasized that the reshuffle came too late, likening it to "injury time massage," and lamented the adverse effects on the Ghanaian economy.Notable personalities, including Nana Aba Anamoah, Rex Omar, Bridget Otoo, OB Amponsah, and Prince David Osei, have also shared their reactions to President Akufo-Addo's ministerial reshuffle.
