Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a former deputy minister of communications in the former John Mahama NDC administration, has criticized President Akufo-Addo, Dr. Bawumia, and other top government officials for what he calls the selection of "puppets to cover up the disaster" of government.

In his time on the panel during Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana program, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu referred to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President, as a "puppet" that President Akufo-Addo intends to install to hide his mess.

The innuendos from the adviser to the former president Mahama did not spare the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.

"His cousin, the Finance Minister has run this economy aground. Alhaji Bawumia, the puppet that he [President Akufo-Addo] wants to install has run the economy aground," he said.

Noticing that the host, Randy Abbey looked unconcerned about Felix's strong choice of words, his co-panellist, Dr. Okoe Boye interjected and called his attention to the description of Dr. Bawumia as a "puppet" but adamant Felix will have none of that, saying that there were occasions in the past when "the NPP sponsored adverts to describe President Mills as a "puppet", and that his use of the word was in the context of President Akufo-Addo wanting people he can easily control.

"He [President Akufo-Addo] can also install all puppets in all state institutions, the people who make the difference are the 17 million people who will be voting, not the puppets he has installed," Felix Kwakye Ofosu added.
