The Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, says he holds no grudges against Sammy Gyamfi, the Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He told Evans Mensah, host of JoyNews' PM Express on Monday, that he is unfazed by the harsh criticism and allegations leveled against his Minority-led Caucus by Mr Gyamfi.
"I have been National Youth Organiser of the party. I just didn't become a Minority Leader. I have been MP for Tamale South, a seat I hold strongly and dear, and I will continue to preserve and protect it for the NDC even if I decide to whistle out in the foreseen future."
"I bear no grudge in my heart against any person, and I don't go to bed [with grudges]. You've heard people talk a lot about Haruna. There have been some abuses and insults, mine is that time is a better and fairer judge," the Tamale South MP said.
Early this year, Sammy Gyamfi accused the Speaker and Minority MPs of 'brazenly defying the party's leadership and betrayed the collective good for their selfish interestS,' during the approval of President Akufo-Addo's ministerial nominees.
Responding to that, Mr Iddrisu said, "internal party wrangling and internal adversities should not affect the provision of leadership, and I am determined to provide whatever leadership I can."
The Minority Leader said that he considered attempts by some individuals to impugn his integrity as unfortunate.
The Tamale South MP admitted that the Minority Caucus fell short of the expectations of, especially NDC loyalists but not the law, in approving the ministerial nominees.
"What I appreciated in my engagement with the grassroots party members, which is one of the lessons that I have learned as Minority Leader, is to tell you in the face, Haruna what we expected you to do even if you are losing; lose in honour and dignity.
He further stated that history will be kind to him, at least for proposing and getting Alban Bagbin as Speaker in an evenly divided Parliament.
Mr Iddrisu, however, said the NDC Caucus in Parliament is united and focused on holding President Akufo-Addo to account to the people of Ghana.
