PROVERBS-Constituents charge on A.B.A Fuseini

In June 2018, Ghana’s lawmaker notorious
for using proverbs was given a raw deal by his constituents when they descended
on him in the wake of confusion that broke out at the Tamale Technical
University where the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) was holding
its constituency executive elections.

The
former Deputy Northern Regional Minister, was literally chased away and hooted
at by angry delegates who were heard in Dagbani telling him they want jobs and
not proverbs.

The
former Minister who appears to have lost out with constituents over accusations
he has not developed the area as a former Deputy Minister and MP, was at the
venue to witness the exercise since he was a direct beneficiary.

But things got to its head when confusion broke out over alleged over voting which saw some of them hurling insults at the honourable member to the shock of some party executives.

passed as A.B.A Fuseini was escorted to his car and driven away under heavy
security escort.
