The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has responded to the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Addison’s characterization of the minority as “hooligans” following the #OccupyBoG protest.
Nketiah suggests that when individuals are consumed by anger, their ability to think rationally becomes compromised, which may explain the governor’s choice of words.
During an interview on Oyerepa Breakfast TIme, General Mosquito emphasised that Governor Addison’s actions were a result of his anger.
“If indeed that is not the case, and you, as a Bank of Ghana, know that you have the citizens as shareholders, we have given you a job, and we are telling you that you are getting it wrong, and you stand before us and describe them as hooligans. If it were a private company, he would have been sacked the next day.
“But I have forgiven him; you know, in the space of anger, your sense of thinking reduces. So, perhaps when he got angry, he lost his sense of thinking, and that made him say what he said,” Asiedu Nketia stated.
The NDC national chairman also expressed concerns about the current government’s attitude towards criticisms from critics, especially from the minority.
“Our problem with this government is that they exert this sense of entitlement that they are special people who have the right to rule Ghana. They act as though we didn’t put them in power, and so they do whatever they want even if you try to correct them,” he told Kwesi Parker-Wilson, host of the show.
