Professor Stephen Adei, Chairman of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), has urged President Akufo-Addo to maintain Prof Aaron Mike Oquaye as Speaker of Parliament amidst the growing tensions as to who takes over from him.

Speaking to Joy FM, he noted that there’s too much turbulence in the system to allow for a new speaker; adding that he would have maintained Prof Oquaye if he were Akufo-Addo and then ask him to resign in two years time.

“If I were in Akufo-Addo’s shoes, I would have maintained the present Speaker at least for now, and advise him that in about a year or two time, he should voluntarily resign. There is too much turbulence at this time for you to now go and bring a different person, “this is what I would have done straight away.”

“But this is a case whereby I expect NDC will nominate somebody, NPP will nominate somebody, there will be a secret ballot, and then… but there are many candidates from Papa Owusu Ankomah to Alban Bagbin all of them can be very good Speakers,” he added.
