The deputy Minister of Energy and Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini has withdrawn his petition against his colleague MP from Fanteakwa whom he accused of insulting northerners in the country. On Wednesday, there was a heated debate between the minority caucus and Mr Fuseini who accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP Mr Kwabena Amankwah Asiamah of describing northerners as "lazy people" who like to engage in "tribal and community wars", an accusation the minority vehemently denied and protested. Mr Fuseini further petitioned the Speaker of the House to refer the conduct of his colleague to the Privileges Committee for disciplinary action. But Joy News parliamentary correspondent, Sammy Darko reports that Mr. Fuseini has withdrawn the petition to have the matter referred to the Speaker, with the explanation that some minority MPs have apologised on behalf of Mr. Asiamah. According to Sammy Darko the MP said his attention has also been drawn to some clarifications offered on the matter by Mr. Asiamah on Peace FM in Accra, where he made the comments Mr Fuseini found insulting.
