Watch Afenyo-Markin’s attack on Prof Opoku-Agyemang that preceded the suspension of sitting
On March 11, growing tensions over a comment made by Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin forced an hour-long suspension of Parliament’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) discussion.
The Minority Caucus demanded an apology and retraction after he described Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemeng, the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as an elderly person who failed as minister of education.

“Mr Speaker, it is the same old NDC. It is the same old John Mahama. Mr Speaker perish the thought, should he even get the opportunity, he has only four years constitutionally. Mr Speaker, there will be no sense of urgency in him because he has nothing to lose.
“Even if you look at his choice of running mate. He could not get somebody that one could say that they are planning for the future. The person is over 70 years old.
“There is no succession plan. Mr Speaker, from day one, the government will be in crisis. Mr Speaker, they went to pick a very old person who could not perform at the Education Ministry,” Afenyo-Marking said before the Deputy Minority Chief Whip, Ahmed Ibrahim rose to issue a spirited rebuttal to the Majority Leader.
During the ensuing back and forth, MPs from the Minority bench angrily interrupted Afenyo-Markin’s comments by calling for his retraction and apologies.
After a while, the Second Deputy Speaker, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, took the chair and placed an hour’s worth of sitting aside.
The same old incompetent Mahama with his over 70 year old running mate not good for Ghana’s future ~ Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

Reference to NDC running mate Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang’s age and her performance at the Education Ministry by majority leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin in his SONA debate rubs off the minority MPs wrongly forcing 2nd deputy Speaker to suspend sitting.#GHOneNews #GHOneTV pic.twitter.com/YuwijVOQZn
