Akufo-Addo should learn from how Ofori-Atta quickly changed his legal team - Okudzeto
He explained that when Ken Ofori-Atta noticed how tensed a process it was, he quickly changed his legal team, only after the first day, and that is exactly what President Nana Akufo-Addo should do in replacing the minister. “I believe that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has something very vital to learn from his cousin, the finance minister. When he came the third day, he had quickly changed him. “President Akufo-Addo should learn from his cousin; the finance minister, and change the finance minister. Just as he changed his lawyers when he saw that the legal team led by Gabby Otchere-Darko on day one, was a disaster, he quickly changed him because he knows his position is at stake,” he said.
