In his 12 years in parliament, the Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu has lived up to the title ‘king of proverbs’ as almost every submission of his has an element of proverbs.
The incumbent MP for Sagnarigu however lost his candidature to Atta Issah in the just-ended parliamentary primaries of the NDC on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
The defeat means that ABA Fuseini will not be returning to parliament in 2025 but Ghanaians will have a hard time forgetting this proverbial man.
Below is a list of 10 significant proverbs we would remember ABA Fuseini by:
1. When a Lion is fond of patronizing the market, it will be treated like a puppy.
