I told Oquaye he was too old to be Speaker but he didn’t listen – Asiedu Nketia

January 8, 2021

General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said he told  former Speaker of Parliament Professor Mike Oquaye that he was too old to be reelected into that position again for the 8th parliament.

Mr Asiediu Nketia said he informed the former Dome Kwabenya lawmaker that he should dedicate the rest of his life to telling Ananse stories to his grandchildren and not to serve as Speaker again.

During the election in the chamber on Thursday January 7, Mr Alban Bagbin who was nominated by the NDC polled 138 votes as against 136 for Professor Oquaye.

Mr Asiedu said at a press conference in Accra on Friday January 8 that “ The NPP’s demand for a rerun  of the elections and the counter demand  for the declaration of Honourable Bagbin as the winner led to another two hours  of stalemate  before eventually,  evil had to succumb  to the forces of democracy.

“In fact, at some points  in time,  the NPP were demanding  that before Bagbin could be declared the  winner we should accept  a joint statement  indicating that  Professor Mike Oquaye  withdrew from the contest  and there was no elections at all.

“Can you imagine this?  Everybody in the world saw the election  happening , saw the ballot papers being stolen  and you want us  to come and embarrass  ourselves or rather to share in your embarrassment  with a common statement that the elections didn’t take place, that Mike Oqauye was never defeated , that he withdrew n eventually to allow Bagbin to go.

“Some of us insisted that Mike Oquaye has lost the elections and let the whole world know that he has lost the elections because he was warned.

“In fact I did warn him that he was too old to be a Speaker and I advised him that this was the time for him  to dedicate the rest of his life telling ananse stories to his grandchildren.”
