Sagnarigu MP, A.B.A. Fuseini, insists resigned Deputy Minister of Agriculture, William Quaittoo is not remorseful about his ethnocentric comments against people of northern extraction in Ghana.
The Akim Oda MP had described northerners as “liars” and “difficult” people to deal with.
Mr Quaittoo later retracted his comments and rendered an apology. He subsequently resigned following pressure from the Minority as well as several northern groups and northerners including presidential staffer Napaga Tia Sulemana.
A.B.A Fuseni said even though his colleague MP’s resignation is “a positive step” and “can help assuage the hurt and anger” of the people of the northern region, he did not show remorse with his apology.
“He [William Quaittoo] was not remorseful,” Alhaji Fuseini stressed, explaining: “A person of remorse would have said: ‘look, I take it in Toto that what I said was improper, on the basis of that I wholeheartedly withdraw it and apologise unreservedly’, that is an apology that is unreserved …”
The northern MP told Accra-based Starr FM’s Francis Abban that Mr Quaittoo’s attempt to explain himself and clarify his comments while rendering the apology defeated the purpose.

How many times has the nation Ghana seen this genuine resignation BEFORE. All the time we hear that it has happened in the WHITE MAN'S country. Upon all the MESS we had since 2009 to 2016 did any of the then MINISTERS resigned. Example those INVOLVED IN THE JUDGEMENT DEBTS PAYMENTS. Did any of the Ministers involved RESIGNED. Now we are having Ministers who reason with the people. By the way I could see that A.B.A just doing propaganda as is his Party's policy.
Should he come to eat your popo before you will come to terms that he is remorseful?Your attitude is confirming his assertion. It is only in the North that people like you can become MPs.Geeerrrruuuuutttt!!!
It's obvious u don't understand simple things.The mins.has shown that he has truelly lived with u guys for 27yrs.Nkurasefo)!!!!!
OH SH*UT UP, AN ***barred word*** VOTED FOR BY DIFFICULT PEOPLE.
I feel pity for those who voted A.B.A. Fuseini into power. The Deputy Minister has apologised and went further to resign. What else do you want him to do. To walk from Accra to the North on foot or what? Instead of championing the cause of your electorate, here you are wasting time on propaganda.
so it has now become english lessons???telling the deputy minister what he should have said.hmmm
FA WO ***barred word*** FIRI H)K)
Must he resign on your terms? It is really difficult for these guys to understand anything.
I can see from this issue that the north will NEVER develop and other people will continue to look down on them because of the difficult attitude that they have and continue to defend.
