The late Adamu Dramani Sakende was condemned to two years detainment for owing loyalty to Ghana and Burkina Faso when he challenged the political decision to be Bawku Central MP, which he in this manner won.
To Dame, the cases are similar consequently comparative standards should be applied, and the law should be similarly applied on account of James Gyakye Quayson.
"I believe that there should be an even utilization of the law, the very destiny that came to pass for Adamu Sakande, who was not qualified at the time that selections were opened, and we as a whole realize what has been going on with him.
"Adamu Dramani Sakande ended up experiencing the same thing. Thus, he was not qualified when selections were opened and was along these lines proclaimed ineligible, and, besides, his seat was removed.
"So there must be an even utilization of the law. In the event that it happened to Adamu Sakande of the NPP, it ought to happen to a man of his word of the NDC who ends up experiencing the same thing."
However, Mahama Ayariga, Member of Parliament for Bawku Central Constituency, demonstrated that the Supreme Court ought to have governed to permit Gyakye Quayson, to keep releasing his obligations as a considerable MP until a last assurance of the case.
