The Minority in Parliament (MP) has asserted that the resignation of President Akufo-Addo would bring more benefits to Ghana than his recent ministerial reshuffle.

According to Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson, Akufo-Addo stepping down is the most effective way to alleviate the suffering and hardship experienced by Ghanaians.

In a substantial ministerial reshuffle disclosed on February 14, President Akufo-Addo removed Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta from his position, affecting 13 current ministers, including 10 cabinet ministers and two regional ministers.

Dr. Forson, in a statement on the same day, expressed the NDC Minority's belief 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.”

The Minority Leader highlighted President Akufo-Addo's obstinacy and defiance during discussions on the reshuffle, citing his rejection of nearly 100 NPP Members of Parliament who demanded the immediate resignation of outgoing Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

“For example, he rebuffed nearly 100 NPP Members of Parliament who demanded the immediate resignation of outgoing Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta,” he added.
