The Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, has described President Akufo-Addo as a “gross, crass and fantastically incompetent” President.

According to him, the President and, by extension, his appointees have failed to live up to the expectations of Ghanaians.

This he says is reflected in the ongoing calls for the resignation of the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, from all quarters of the country and now from the ruling government itself.

“The President is not only super incompetent; he’s gross, crass and fantastically incompetent. Tell me one success story. The man is simply incompetent. This press conference you [NPP MPs] held is the clearest demonstration of how incompetent the President is.

“Now you’re blaming the person he has appointed, you’re not blaming the person who has appointed him. Look, when the chief comes home with weird haircut, what do you think his subjects will do?” he said.

Speaking on PM Express, Murtala Mohammed stated that currently the Minority caucus in Parliament is readying themselves to file a motion of censure against the Finance Minister and then the President in the days ahead.

He explained that while removing the Finance Minister is the right thing to do, it is the incompetence of President Akufo-Addo that is reflecting through the performance of his appointees, thus should he not be removed as well, the rot in government will continue unabated.

“The man is incompetent, his appointees are incompetent, as a matter of fact, those who are heading Ministries and Agencies perhaps they’re the team F of the administration. We’re moving the motion tomorrow, and we expect them, there can’t be any fence sitting.

“If they sincerely think this man must be impeached or must be sacked or resigned or however they’re describing it, they should join us. No one should be culled to submission. And frankly, I just have to praise them for standing up against this economic tyranny but I’m saying that it is not a panacea to the economic challenges. What the problem is is the head itself.

“We are going to that. And I am saying that we will do that. Some of us will move a motion for the President’s impeachment,” he said.
