I‘ll drag‘ immature’ Collins Dauda out of Parliament come 2020 elections – NPP man vows
A Former New York branch Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Aliu Suraj has vowed to drag the Member of Parliament (MP) for Asutifi South Constituency in the Brong Ahafo Region Alhaji Collins Dauda out parliament come 2020.
To him, Alhaji Collins Dauda who has been in Parliament since 2004 is incompetent and therefore does not deserve another term after his current tenure stating that he is afraid of describing him as an “immature politician”.
“I am someone who has been with the former Vice President for eight years, someone who has held a political position in the United States. Somebody who coordinates elections in Ghana, this tells you that, such a person like me should not be underrated”, he emphasized whiles speaking at a ceremony held at Aboabo in the Ashanti Region to commemorate the birth of the Holy Prophet Mohammed.
According to Mr. Suraj, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) Collins Dauda is only a ‘local champion’ who cannot be compared to his caliber of person.
“Collins Dauda has never contested any National elections in his life, however, till now he doesn’t know politics. He is never a politician, he is an immature politician because he only contests elections at the constituency level but I have done it at the national level’ Mr. Aliu Suraj told MynewsGH.com.
When asked why he has decided to DRAG Alhaji. Collins Dauda out of parliament, he said “I heard people making noise that Collins is a public figure, he is a heavyweight. Whenever I hear this in the media I feel the media don’t know who Aliu Suraj is”.
Assessing performance of Collins Dauda, he challenged him saying there is nothing the Member of Parliament can boast of in his constituency as achievement saying “he should come out to show one thing you have done for your people as a Member of Parliament!”
Mr. Aliu seems to be confident of winning the next parliamentary elections in the constituency.
