Member of Parliament for Tamale North Constituency Alhaji Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini has insisted the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has no plans to allow Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia stand as President after Akufo Addo.
Speaking on TV3’s New Day on Wednesday July 29, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP said he feels sorry for his countrymen who still have hopes Bawumia will take after Akufo Addo after his eight years in power.
According to him, the NPP is setting the stage to kick Bawumia out should he dare express interest in vying for Presidency on the ticket of the party.
“When he talks about John Mahama’s eight years at the Presidency, this is a warning and a caution to all my brothers and sisters and my countrymen who I know look forward and I know some of them are in NPP and look forward to Dr Bawumia taking over from Nana Addo.”
He added, “It is a caution and a warning to them that they are setting the stage to tell Dr Bawumia when he wants to lead the NPP one day that he has already done eight years at the presidency.”
Alhassan Suhuyini continued, “so please my brothers and sisters, my countrymen who want Dr Bawumia to take over from Nana Addo, this is the warning to you that he has done eight years at the Presidency so he cannot continue. I am sorry for you.”
For him, “when they tell you that John Mahama has done eight years at the Presidency so he should not go back there, they are telling you that when Dr Bawumia wants to ever lead the NPP, they will tell him that ‘Not in this their party’ because he has already done eight years, that is if they ever, God forbid, win again.”
