The Deputy National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Ako Gunn, has strongly criticized the Central Bank's governor, Dr. Ernest Addison, characterizing him as an arrogant and discourteous public official.

According to Ako Gunn, he believes that if he were not representing the NDC, he would have used the term "mentally unstable" to describe Addison.

“It is unfortunate that the governor has chosen to disrespect Ghanaians. He opened his mouth and made reckless and irresponsible remarks about people whose taxes pay him. Hooligans are lawless people, and describing taxpayers who pay his monthly salary demonstrates how disrespectful he is," Mr Ako Gunn stated

The only appropriate observation in this situation is that he lacks self-respect, and as a result, he lacks respect for the people of Ghana. His remarks were deeply troubling. He is employed in an institution plagued by theft, corruption, and mismanagement. If this were not the case, there would be no justification for spending GHC 135 million on car repairs.

The Governor of the Bank of Ghana has informed Central Banking that he rejects the call from the country's primary opposition party for his resignation. On October 3, the Minority group marched to the central bank's headquarters, demanding the resignations of Dr. Addisson and his deputy governors, citing the bank's reported GHC 60 billion loss for the 2022 fiscal year.

Ernest Addison, on the other hand, claims that “the demonstration was completely unnecessary” and that neither he nor his deputies intend to resign."

Reacting to the comments, Ako Gun said ”I would have declared him mentally unstable if I weren’t a communicator for the NDC. Listen to what I’m saying; I didn’t insult him. I only stated that I would have; I did not describe him as such."

He made the remarks during an interview on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM's Nyankonton Mu Nsem.
