Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency, Francis-Xavier Sosu, has provided a reason for his recent outburst against the government during Tuesday's #OccupyBoG demonstration.

In the Ga language, the MP said some unprintable words that provoked condemnation by some members of the general public.

Since the incident, Francis-Xavier Sosu has apologised for his actions.

In an interview on Angel FM, the MP noted that he uttered such insults out of anger. He admitted that the persona witnessed on Tuesday was not his regular self, which is more composed.

"I will say that I was out of character yesterday. It is a demonstration we participated in. The anger that resided in us, that was what we were expressing. But obviously, I know that won't be a good example to many people that is why I am apologising," he said.

Mr Sosu has therefore entreated all who were adversely impacted by his utterance to forgive him.

"It was out of character and I apologize to all who were offended by the statement. Just find a place in your heart to forgive because the anger was at high levels," he pleaded.
