Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo

Pressure is mounting on <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/news/local/osafo-maafo-cleared-over-dollar1m-kroll-contract/bsfmjs8">President Akufo-Addo to get rid of his senior minister Yaw Osafo Marfo</a> and other officials of his government or the NPP risks losing the next election.

The calls follow the inclusion of the senior minister in the Transition Team after the electoral commission declared the president as having been reelected on Wednesday, December 9.

According to some Ghanaians who took to Twitter to express their opinions, Osafo Marfo and others such as the finance minister Ken Ofori Atta and Gabby Okyere-Darko are the cause of the NPP’s woes and the near loss of the just-ended election.

Below are some Twitter reactions to the inclusion of Yaw Osafo Marfo in the transition team constituted by President Akufo Addo after his reelection:

Osafo Marfo has no business in the next government.

He's tired. He should go and rest. There are equally good hands to take over from him.

I beg of you @NAkufoAddo, let that man go. Dissolve his office and transfer his staff to other areas of need.

The Osafo Marfo issue is done deal ooo the campaign to have him removed will not negate the fact that Addo Dee allowed him to get away with corruption to the extent of forcing Domevlo out.

U would think the President & his inner folk would have learnt something from the outcome of this election but not even 72hrs into his 2nd term, he names a transition team & appoints Osafo Marfo as a member.

**Tsk**Tsk**

No lessons learnt huh?

Please @NAkufoAddo get rid off Yaw Osafo Marfo, my country man Prof Frimpong Boateng from your next government. We need an energetic face. We’ll vote against Npp if you maintain them
