It’s possible for dried fish to walk back to the sea than NPP’s Felicia Tetteh winning Sagnarigu seat — A. B. A. Fuseini brags

Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu constituency, Alhaji A. B. A. Fuseini has assured the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress NDC, John Drammani Mahama that he will support the party’s parliamentary candidate, Attah Issah to retain the seat for the NDC with all his might and influence.

Addressing party supporters at the Bagabaga College of Education in Tamale today Tuesday, February 6, during the Building Ghana Tour by former President John Mahama, he said it is impossible for the New Patriotic Party Parliamentary candidate for Sagnarigu constituency Felicia Tetteh to win the seat.

“Your Excellency, I want to also stand here and assure you, by the grace of Almighty Allah, the Sagnarigu constituency has come to stay with the NDC perpetually. It is never going anywhere. Your excellency, we are going to retain the Sagnarigu constituency, and our brother Attah Issah will be the Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu”, the MP assured.

“Your excellency, I want to say here, that the Sagnarigu constituency, NPP making any gains in Sagnarigu Constituency is as good as saying that, a fish that has been caught, that has been smoked and dried and is in the store for sale. It is easier for that fish to walk back to the sea than the NPP (and its parliamentary candidate) to win the Sagnarigu seat. I say this because, when the mad fish comes to tell you the crocodile has one eye, it knows what it is talking about,” he added.

He also took the opportunity to assure the NDC flagbearer that, Sagnarigu has always given the party a maximum votes, and this time around, they will increase it to 90%.

“So Mr. President, I want to assure you, Sagnarigu from its inception has been the World Bank of NDC in the Northern Region. Now let me clarify what I mean by the World Bank. I am saying in terms of numerical strength. But I am talking about the percentage and quantum of votes registered by Sagnarigu constituency. And in the first year in the creation of Sagnarigu constituency, we registered almost 82% for President Mahama. I want to assure you that, by the grace of Allah, Inshallah, Inshallah, Inshallah, on December 7, when the ballots are open and counted, your Excellency, we shall give you 90% of the votes in Sagnarigu,” Alhaji A. B. A. Fuseini concluded.

The former deputy Northern Regional Minister however admonished supporters to be circumspect in order not to twart their efforts in unifying the NDC across the constituency and beyond to recapture power come December this year.

Alhaji A. B. A. Fuseini was defeated in the last parliamentary primaries the NDC held in the Sagnarigu constituency, by the party’s accountant at its headquarters, Atta Issah by a wide margin.
