The Convention Peoples Party, (CPP)’s failed 2012 Parliamentary candidate for the Sagnarigu constituency in the Northern Region, Alhassan Suhuyini risks being suspended for allegedly subjecting the party to public ridicule.
The CPP’s Alhassan Suhuyini at a news conference chastised the party’s Sagnarigu constituency executives and some traditional authorities’ there for allegedly imposing the assembly woman of the area, Issah Zelia on the constituency as the CPP’s 2016 Parliamentary candidate.
It is against this backdrop that the CPP’s Alhassan Suhuyini has been dragged to the Northern Regional Disciplinary Committee.
The party’s Northern Regional Education Secretary, Nayi Adam Alhassan at a counter news conference in Tamale said Alhassan Suhuyini’s conduct warrants his suspension.
Nayi Adam Alhassan rubbished Alhassan Suhuyini’s allegation and admonished him to render an unqualified apology to his so-called conspirators who have dashed his Parliamentary ambition.
“We want him to take this opportunity to unconditionally apologize to the persons especially the respected eminent traditional authorities and the Sagnarigu party executives who were referred to in Alhassan Suhuyini’s diabolical statement.”
He emphasized that Alhassan Suhuyini acted in contravention of the party’s constitution for which reason he should be sanctioned.
“The pugnacious, anomalous and irresponsible behavior of Alhassan Suhuyini in seeking to criminalize the candidature of Issah Zelia and to dent the hard earned reputation of some eminent persons in the Sagnarigu constituency is highly unacceptable.”
Nayi Adam Alhassan reaffirmed Issah Zelia’s candidature saying, “The Sagnarigu constituency has only one Parliamentary candidate and she is Issah Zelia.”
“As the Assembly Member for the Sagnarigu electoral area, Madam Issah Zelia is the sole aspirant who has satisfied all the requirements to contest the Sagnarigu Parliamentary election on the CPP’s ticket.”
He is optimistic Issah Zelia could wrestle the Sagnarigu seat from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) incumbent Member of Parliament, A.B.A Fuseini.
