"Today, the cedis to a dollar is now over GH¢8 to a dollar. Not to talk of fuel prices. Why should the Vice President still be at post?" he asked.

He also called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to as a matter of urgency, dissolve the economic management team of the government because they've failed the majority of Ghanaians after their abysmal performance in terms of managing the economy.

"The government can it account for 1 billion of the Price Stabilization Levy proceeds after accruing over 2 billion. The Levy was meant to cushion Ghanaians and petrol users in difficult times like this. We, therefore call on President Akufo-Addo to dissolve the economic management team led by Dr. Bawumia," he added.
