The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Professionals Forum has thrown its weight behind Alban Bagbin\u2019s bid for another term as Speaker of Parliament.<\/p>\n
The group\u2019s endorsement is a significant boost to Bagbin\u2019s lobbying for the speakership position, which has been ongoing behind the scenes.
However the lobbying may be an exercise in futility looking at the geopolitical dimension with the President coming from the same geopolitical zone.
Speaking at NDC Professionals Forum organised by Sam Pee Yalley, in honour of the Speaker, he said the group\u2019s decision to support Bagbin\u2019s bid is based on his proven leadership skills and commitment to strengthening institutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor those who work very close with you, they see you as the speaker of parliament. But we saw you as a pivotal link between the NDC as a party and parliament,\u201d Sam Pee Yalley stated.<\/p>\n
Sam Pee Yalley further emphasized that Alban Bagbin has represented the spirit of the NDC party and has insisted on establishing strong and stronger institutions like parliament.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou represented the spirit of our party. Anytime we spoke to you and with you, you insisted that you wanted to establish strong and stronger institutions like the parliament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The NDC Professionals Forum president also assured Alban Bagbin of the group\u2019s unflinching support for his endeavors.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again, right honorable speaker, we want to assure you of our unflinching support for your endeavors,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Sam Pee Yalley dared NDC lawmakers not to make the mistake of changing Bagbin as speaker.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to be the first to dare say that our members of parliament should dare not make a mistake in changing you,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n
The NDC Professionals Forum president explained that the group\u2019s decision to support Bagbin\u2019s bid is not just a political call, but also based on research and feedback from ordinary Ghanaians.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have researchers among us, we have persons who are on the ground and know what the ordinary man or woman feels and knows, and we have come to the firm conclusion that you\u2019ll be needed even more in this one-sided parliament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
