Murtala Urges Majority Caucus to Stop Following ‘Azonto Dancing’ Bawumia

Tamale Central’s Member of Parliament, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, criticized the Majority Caucus for the frequent absence of its members in the House.

The MP expressed dismay that many members of the Majority have neglected their parliamentary duties to join campaign tours with the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, since the House reconvened from recess.

Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, June 13, Murtala Mohammed urged the Majority leadership to address the lack of commitment among their members.

He criticized the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, for not ensuring that members from his side were present in Parliament to conduct business on behalf of their constituents.

“My point has to do with the unseriousness of the team that he [Alexander Afenyo-Markin] leads. They are only seven. [Wednesday, June 12], they were just five. Now, you think that it is important for us to do business without members of the Majority?

“I came to Parliament by eight o’clock and registered. Your members are still not here. They are following your presidential candidate dancing Azonto and saying, give me the steer. If you want us to take you seriously, then have control over the people that you lead.”
