Member of Parliament (MP) for Madina, lawyer Francis-Xavier Sosu, has apologized to Ghanaians for using vulgar words on live television during the #OccupyBOGprotest which happened in Accra yesterday.
He rendered the apology publicly on GTV’s Breakfast show during an interview with Kafui Dey.
“A very good morning to your cherished viewers and let me first sincerely apologize to all Ghanaians and to everyone following the trends, I take full responsibility for my actions and those words and I ask that whoever is offended by those words will find a place to forgive me. He continued by saying, “it is not a position I would encourage anybody to indulge in because I have also become a role model to many young people and I retract those words” Francis-Xavier Sosu said during the live interview.
Explaining what pushed him to utter such words, he said, “I think it is the frustration and anger from work that pushed me. What you saw yesterday was a reflection of bubbled up anger against a system that is simply not working and a system which does not want to be accountable and it wows me.” “Where there is violence there must always be peace after violence and so let peace prevail because there are very important things that I am working at and I don’t think that my actions will divert the attention”.
It will be recalled that during the #OccupyBoG protest, the Madina MP was trending for throwing vulgar words at the Akufo-Addo administration.
Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu made unsavory comments, blaming the government for the debilitating hardship in the country.
