“He was quiet, humble, very intelligent, sharp, transparent, giving, and hardworking. I remember him very well because, myself, Naser, Patrick Boamah, Honourable Doyoe, Patricia Appiagyei; we were all members of the Fourth Parliament, and we were all backbenchers. He was sitting right on my left, and Appiagyei was on my right.
“He was one of the best-performing Members of Parliament in my region,” Ashie Moore said, adding that Naser managed a very difficult constituency for four terms with distinction.
Reflecting on the loss, he noted that the NDC had lost a great soul.
While acknowledging that God knows best, he emphasised that the late Ayawaso East MP had served his constituency with distinction, further adding that Parliament itself had lost a remarkable figure.
He stated: “It is sad, but Allah knows best. Allah gives, and Allah takes. We have no control over His decision. We have lost a great pillar. As I sit here, I try to imagine and strategise who could replace Naser, but he did a very good job for his constituents. He managed a very difficult constituency for four terms.
