Highlighting Bagbin's experience and the necessity of his leadership in parliamentary matters, Sam Pee Yalley addressed members of the NDC Professionals Forum in Accra.

He stated: “We want to be the first to dare say that our Members of Parliament should not dare make any mistake in changing you. We are not just making a political call.

“We have researchers among us, we have persons who are on the ground and knows what the ordinary man and woman feels and knows and we have come to the firm conclusion that you will be needed even more in this one-sided parliament. We believe you can live above board because of our firm believe that for you, it is Ghana first."

The former Ghana Ambassador to India further added: “Sometimes, man proposes, and God disposes, but I agree with the Reverend Minister that the four years is for you to lead Parliament.

“In conclusion, we, of the NDC Professionals Forum, will double our efforts in supporting everything that you do and give you feedback if there's the need for that.”
