Member of Parliament (MP) for Sagnarigu Constituency in the Northern Region, Alhaji A. B. A Fusieni, has said the Speaker of the Ghana’s 7th parliament, Prof. Mike Aaron Oquaye, was no match to the newly elected Speaker of the 8th Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.
According to Alhaji Fusieni, having served as 2nd deputy Speaker and MP for 28 years, Mr. Bagbin has all the relevant experience needed for one to be the speaker of the house, as against Prof. Mike Ocquaye.
“I said in many interviews that, speaker Ocquaye was not a match to Hon. Bagbin. Hon. Bagbin has a deep seated knowledge and experience of the working of this house. Not only is he the longest serving Member of Parliament in the Country, but he knows everything about this house.
Alhaji Fuseini spoke to the media in Parliament immediately after the swearing-in of Mr. Bagbin as Speaker and MPs for the 8th parliament.
Mr. Bagbin won the Speaker of Parliament position by garnering 138 votes against Prof. Oquaye who got 135 of the votes cast.
