Ofosu Kwakye descends on Governor Addison for calling #OccupyBoG protesters hooligans

Former Deputy Minister of Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has hit out at Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor Dr. Ernest Addison for describing the Minority’s #OccupyBoG protest as unnecessary.

The Minority in Parliament mobilised Ghanaians to hit the streets of Accra on Tuesday, October 3, to demand the resignation of the Central Bank’s Governor for what they described as gross mismanagement of BoG and illegal printing of money for government.

Speaking in an interview with international business website, Central Banking, Governor Dr. Ernest Addison said he will not resign from office.

According to him, it was needless for the Minority to protest like hooligans just to drum home their grievances.

“The demonstration yesterday was completely unnecessary. The Minority (MPs) in Parliament have many channels to channel their grievances in civilized societies, not through demonstrations in the streets as hooligans,” Dr. Ernest Addison said.

Unhappy with these comments, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has in a post on social media descended on the Bank of Ghana Governor.

In a post on X, the former Deputy Minister of Communication described the Governor as an Akufo-Addo stooge who is all too willing to destroy the economy.

He argued that in a different country, Dr. Ernest Addison would not be at post by now.

“A foul-mouthed tirade against protesters from an Akufo-Addo stooge, who is all too willing to destroy the economy at his benefactor's behest. An apology of a Governor who will be long gone in a decent society,” Felix Kwakye Ofosu said.
