Member of Parliament(MP) for Sagnarigu, Alhassan Bashir Fuseini(A.B.A) Fuseini has accused aspirants to his seat of flouting the directive of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) which bars parliamentary aspirants in all constituencies with sitting NDC MPs from campaigning between March 7 and March 31, 2023.
According to A.B.A Fuseini, some six persons interested in his seat have disregarded the party’s directive and are campaigning as he stays in Parliament in obedience to his party.
In an interview with TV3, ABA Fuseini accused the aspirants of peddling falsehoods against him regarding his unavailability in the Constituency to constituents so as to win over their support.
“…In my constituency, six people. We have a lot of these people running their campaign meanwhile the party has given a task to fulfill here in Parliament which requires your permanent presence…Even on Saturdays and on Sundays the party will hold meetings or assign you to some task and you cannot leave it and go back to your constituency, meanwhile, people are campaigning against you, and your constituents may be saying that in the heat of this, we are not seeing our MP.
What is happening to him when people are running around? People will go there and peddle some untruths, sometimes you will hear that they go somewhere and an aspirant who is overzealous to unseat an MP will go and say the MP has decided that he is not interested in your welfare so that is why he has decided not to come home,” he lamented.
“All campaign activities in all constituencies with sitting NDC MPs are hereby suspended. All sitting NDC MPs shall be required to attend all Parliamentary sittings. Also, no NDC MP shall undertake any travel that will affect his or her attendance in Parliament. Any MP who has travelled is hereby recalled immediately. All regional and constituency executives and aspirants are directed to ensure strict compliance with the directives herein. All parliamentary aspirants are hereby directed in their own interest, to strictly adhere to these directives as a breach of same shall attract severe sanctions,” the directive signed said.
