The Member of Parliament for Bole Bamboi, Yusif Sulemana, has stated that he has no intention to lobby President-elect John Dramani Mahama for a ministerial appointment or any position in his incoming administration.
According to him, his relationship with the President-elect goes beyond the need for lobbying, and he will be content with any role Mahama assigns to him.
In an interview on GHOne TV on Wednesday, January 1, 2024, the MP expressed confidence in John Mahama's leadership and noted that he had anticipated his return to the presidency.
Recounting a conversation with Mahama on election day, he said, "I told him to go and start preparing his ministerial list because he had won. Not long after, he was announced the President."
Yusif Sulemana dismissed the need for him to lobby, explaining that he is a close ally of the President-elect.
"Who do I lobby? I’m always with the man. Three days ago, I was with him. Consistently, I’m around him. He knows me. Wherever he decides to put me, that’s fine. If he wants me to remain in Parliament, I have no problem with that", he stated.
Touching on the ORAL team constituted to recover state property unlawfully acquired by officials of the outgoing government he stated that it is well-positioned to recover unlawfully acquired state properties, despite public commentary.
"People should know that John Mahama is an experienced person. He's been there before, so they are allowed to make their comments", he noted.
