Minority Leader and Tamale South MP Haruna Iddrisu has a bright political future ahead of him, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said.
Mr Iddrisu entered parliament for the first time in 2005 after winning the seat in the 2004 elections, the year Mr Akufo-Addo exited parliament as legislator.
Delivering his maiden State of the Nation Address in parliament on Tuesday February 21, Mr Akufo-Addo, while commending the leadership of both sides of parliament, said: “I commend also the Majority Leader, my contemporary in this House who can now put his extensive experience of parliament to use as leader of the house and Minister of Parliamentary Affairs.
“My compliment goes to the new Minority Leader Honourable Haruna Iddrisu, who announced himself on the national stage when he came here in my last term in the House. It is clear that he has an important future in Ghanaian politics.
“I want to assure him and the leadership of the House on both sides that I will cooperate fully with parliament to enhance the governance of our nation to be able to do the business of Ghana effectively.”

this is nothing, he has just rode on the backs of a poor electorate to gain advantage. What about the millions of Ghanaians who are not politicians but work tirelessly for the nation and get nothing in return? Is our only recognition through politics? Does it mean you have a future only when you become a politician? How have the people of Tamale gained from this guy being their MP for all these years? Nana Addo must focus on making the life of non-political Ghanaians better and stop swelling this guy's head so that he does not accuse him.
well said my president.
Well said about Haruna. I had also admired him too. But my problem here is that is Haruna also involved in this numerous financial and corruption scandals? I am praying hard his name does not come up when prosecution starts
what Presdo is saying is very true. I do really like this man Haruna, he speaks the truth and facts. Continue to do so and God will bless you and not those babies with sharp teeth.
Well said Mr. President
That is why Ayariga, Okujato and Suhini are trying HARD to destroy him and Muntaka.
Did Nana exit parliament in 2004? Get your facts right!
When I watched Haruna Iddrisu at the Appointment Committee sittings, I immediately discerned what Nana has just confirmed. I am NPP but this young man is a blessing to Ghana. My only advice is that he must not join the circus train and provide objective input even from the NDC perspective.
Political mind Game. Hon.. be careful with this man.
This is what Ghana was lacking over the years recognizing the good work of individuals in opposition. Nana has shown true leadership and I believe with that said, Ghana has a bright future.
