Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu has rendered an unqualified apology to the general public for using unprintable words to describe the New Patriotic Party(NPP) government under which Dr. Ernest Addison serves as the Governor of the Bank of Ghana.
The minority caucus of Parliament and some supporters of the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) party staged a demonstration against the Governor of the Central Bank Dr. Ernest Addison and his deputies, demanding their resignation due to mismanagement.
The protest which happened to be one of the most participated and peaceful according to the Ghana Police Service has received much backlash from the public due to some pronounces made by Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu during the protest.
A video that has gone viral since the #OccupyBOG demonstration on October 3, captured the Madina MP making some offensive statements in the Ga language.
Consequently, the MP in a press release dated October 4 apologized to the general public for his unwelcoming actions during the protest.
“I wish to sincerely apologize for my choice of words during my outburst yesterday, Tuesday, October 3, 2023, during the Occupy BOG Demonstration”.
“I unreservedly apologize for my actions and words and ask that all those offended would find a place in their hearts to forgive me. I am human and this only demonstrated the anguish, pain, frustrations, and disappointments at the management of the Bank of Ghana, and at our current state of affairs as a country”.
“I have reflected and realized that though I spoke those words out of anger and extreme provocation, I was completely out of character”.
“Hence, consistent with my avowed values, I am sincerely sorry”, Sosu added.
