Buckason joins an elite class of Journalists including former Joy FM Morning show host Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and OKAY FM presenter Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey popularly known as Abeiku Santana who have expressed interest to join Ghana’s law house if given the nod by the NPP and the NDC respectively.

Agnes Chigabatia former Upper East deputy regional minister who endorsed the decision said Bukason can help with development in the constituency.
