Resigned Deputy Minister of Agriculture William Quaittoo has said Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia should succeed President Nana Akufo-Addo as flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for subsequent elections.
According to him, such a move will help the NPP “erase” the perception that it is an Akan-inclined party.
Mr Quaittoo resigned after an avalanche of criticism against him following his description of northerners as “difficult” people who are fond of “lying” to get what they want.
He has apologised to ortherners for his comments and described it as a slip, adding that he would never intentionally insult people he stayed with for 27 years.
Asked by Bola Ray on Starr FM on Wednesday about whether Dr Bawumia should be Nana Akufo-Addo’s successor, Mr Quaittoo answered in the affirmative and said he was ready and willing to campaign for the Vice President should the time and need arise.

Hon Quittoe MP for Oda has said it all. He is such an excellent and brilliant performer which Ministry of Agriculture and NPP are missing in our planting for food policy. Many of our own party members failed to notice the propaganda mounted by the NDC pressure group and their MPs as way of weakening that agriculture policy. Anyway is done and we have seen our smoothest level with such a big benchmark set by Quittoe. He has used the big platform of Starr FM to apologise once again to our brethren which is a bold step in a right direction. We're therefore looking forward to the response the pressure group and their MPs will coming up with to restore normality. He is such a gentleman we can't afford to miss in our frontline.
