The Member of Parliament for Binduri Constituency of the Upper East Region Abanga Abdulai has said, he is available to be selected by the coach if the opportunity comes.
Speaking to Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com in an exclusive interview, Mr. Abanga said he is just a Member of Parliament (MP), adding that the President has the power to appoint people.
“For an appointment, is normally will be an added advantage but, I went in there to represent the people of Binduri in Parliament and that has been achieved”.
“I am just an MP, the President has the power to appoint people, so he is a coach. You know in football, is the coach that does the selection sometimes depending on the kind of game the coach wants to play, he will decide the kind of players he wants to use. I know the President knows me very well, I have been in this party for a long time, I was the MCE for Bawku in 2008 during when we won 2 seats even under the very difficult condition when there was a conflict between the Kusasis and Mamprusis but we manage to win 2 seats out of 3. I have been very active in the party up to date the President knows me, most senior party members know me, they know my contribution to the party”.
“But at the end of the day, it all depends on what kind of game plan the President as a coach has to play. So, I am available for selection and am hoping that we can be given an opportunity to really do well. As you know, am a chartered accountant so, I have a lot of expertise in finance over 20 years’ experience”. He told Apexnewsgh.com
