My MP bid not for self-gratification
Alhassan Suhuyini had in an earlier with Citi News interview, stated that his bid to become the MP is not for self-gratification.
“This venture that I am engaged in is not one to self glorify. I’m not looking to be an MP because I want to boast with it or use it to open doors. I think that I have already, fortunately by the grace of God, the keys to open the doors that some people are seeking to open with this title. All I am saying is that I want the opportunity to serve, so that my people will not say that you were in Accra, you were with all the big men but you didn’t come home to serve,” he added.
There had been attempts to run down Mr. Suhini as his opponents described him as an alien in the race.
