Sophia Akuffo did not disclose reasons for resignation - Felix Kwakye Ofosu

[00:00:00]First issue relating to reports of resignation of Justice Sophia AB Akuffo.

[00:00:05]I can confirm that indeed Justice Sophia AB Akuffo has resigned from her position as a member of the Council of State. She submitted a letter in September 2025 to the president indicating her desire to resign. She did not disclose the reason for wanting to resign.

[00:00:26]When the president received the letter he was required then to indicate his acceptance of the resignation. But the at the behest of the Council of State he had to hold on because they said they wanted to engage Justice Sophia Akuffo to see if there was some grievance that she had that was informing the resignation and whether or not there was a way that it could be addressed. So they asked the president to hold on with the acceptance. But they got back and said that they had engaged and as far as they were concerned the resignation could be accepted. So the president has formally accepted her resignation and she is no longer a member of the Council of State.
