The Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale North Constituency in the Northern Region claims his presence in Parliament is making some New Patriotic Party MPs uncomfortable.
Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini has observed that “it is the mindset of some people on Majority side, not all of them, that some people do not deserve to be in parliament and by whatever standard, I am unable to tell”.
The Tamale North MP cited MP for Manhyia South, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh and Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, whom he claimed rained insults on him during a debate on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, 30 March 2017 after the Joe Ghartey Committee delivered the report on the bribery scandal.
The MP alleged that whilst the Education Minister, Dr Opoku Prempeh referred to him as “mad” and other “unprintable words”, Communications Minister, Urusla Owusw-Ekuful also hurled insults at him at the same time.
Explaining further on Onua FM’s Yen Nsempa hosted by Bright Asempa on Monday, Mr. Suhuyini said “no one is in that house on the basis of mercy.
Everyone conducted a campaign, got elected by the electorate to represent a constituency so it is not for another person who feels big in his shoes to determine who his colleague in that house is”. He said “I am tempted to believe that the fact that some of us are in that house are eating some people up.
Well, I can’t help them. I am sorry. I was voted by the good people of the Tamale North and I am grateful for that and they have to learn to accept that fact”.
Hypocrisy
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) law maker accused those who criticized him when they saw his video on social media on his reactions to Dr. Opoku Prempeh of being hypocrites.
“I find it hypocritical on the part of all those who insulted me and criticized me.
They should have found out what triggered my actions. When the video went viral on Sunday, those who criticized me did not find out what triggered my actions. Even the Majority Leader didn’t ask that question. Nobody asked that question.
But when Hon Napo’s video came out, they started asking what could have prompted Napo to do that and that is hypocritical”. He maintained, “Hon Napo scornfully insulted me. I was clearly attacked for doing nothing. It was an unprovoked attacked.”
On almost all of those occasions, the President was seen in either conservative double-breasted suits or colourful contemporary single breasted suits with his signature handkerchief tucked in his wrist. While he appeared comfortable in them, many Ghanaians took him on over his apparent failure to ‘lead by example’ his commitment and call for promotion of the local garment industry by wearing clothes made from them. The criticisms seemed to have slowly changed the President’s taste for suits which portrayed him to be a typical of the elite class in society, commanding a certain aura of classicism. Public photos of Nana Akufo-Addo at recent functions show him glowing in different variations of African print, handmade, beautifully designed and fitting perfectly. Here are photos of the president at recent events.

I have for the past 6 weeks being reviewing most of the news items on the Peacefmonline.com and I am gradually becoming worried about the professional evaluation of the editorial team on what to post as worthy news and not. Actually, your continuously curling of news from unprofessional newspapers like Al-Hajj, you are destroying the rating and patronage of the Peacefmonline.com.
What is the point here? What took the NDC to opposition will keep them there if they do not turn from their d.i.a.b.o.l.i.c ways What is the main gist in this article? Peace FM, you can do better. Who is in charge of your online news? Your articles are full of grammatical errors and incoherence. Please, hire a better editor to look at some of these articles before you post them and stop the bias. It is so obvious.
You are right. Ghana and insinuations hmmm

I don't get it. This story is messing up my head. It's like watching an action movie and then without warning just breaks into a documentary show. Is the story about the President and his fine African prints or about Napo and Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini. What a horrible mistake
Kwame Nkrumah Tikese of Okay FM, please stop calling this fake TechUniversity lecturer called Kusi Boafo. He is unintell1gent, partisan and inconsistent NPP stooooge.
I don't get it. What has the body of the story (the last paragraph excepted) got to do with the heading?
Eii! Ghanaians. The man wears suits and you complain..... He wears African prints and you still have something to say. Soon, you will be asking to walk naked
The problem with suhuyini and people like Murtala Mohammed, the former MP for Nanton is either INFERIOR COMPLEX or whipping up hatred for NPP. Who complained of his entry into parliament? These guys wont go far in politics. Sheeeeege Suhuyini
this is what leadership is all about leading the way not talking only,Nana do more and wear more i am very sure soon the NDC would find something to say about this too,but what can you expect from them. party do little
