Haruna Iddrisu, Education Minister-designate, says he has no regrets about being removed from his role as Minority Leader, describing the change as a natural part of his journey in public service.
Appearing before the Appointments Committee, Iddrisu explained that decisions within the party are often made collectively, and he has fully accepted the shift. “I have never, ever regretted being changed as Minority Leader. I don’t carry guilt in my heart,” he said.
Instead of dwelling on the past, Iddrisu focused on how the move allowed him to redirect his energy toward campaigning for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 elections, criticizing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he called economic mismanagement.
The Tamale South MP also expressed deep gratitude for the rare opportunity to serve as Minority Leader, acknowledging the support he received from his constituents and traditional leaders. “I had a rare opportunity to serve, probably the first in my part of the world, if not the first in my country,” Iddrisu remarked, sharing a Quranic verse that has guided him: “God does not give you a burden you cannot carry.”
While reflecting on his political path, Iddrisu emphasized that his primary focus is on his role as MP for Tamale South, which he calls his greatest asset. “I keep telling my colleagues that my greatest asset is the preservation of Tamale South,” he said, expressing gratitude to the region’s chiefs and citizens for their ongoing trust.
In closing, Iddrisu reiterated that his tenure as Minority Leader was an “opportunity to serve” and reaffirmed his commitment to the NDC’s vision and his responsibility to his constituents.
