A fiery statement from an NPP MP has sent political circles into a frenzy, claiming that Speaker Alban Bagbin, Deputy Speaker Joseph Ahiafor, and Majority Leader Osei Bonsu Asiamah are the only ones “doing one job, three shifts” under former President John Mahama’s administration.
In an explosive comment, the lawmaker argued that these leaders have been carrying the bulk of parliamentary responsibilities alone, implying a lack of adequate support from colleagues. The remark has sparked intense debate, with critics accusing the MP of political grandstanding, while supporters praise the statement as a truthful call-out of inefficiency and overwork in Parliament.
Social media quickly reacted, with hashtags like #TripleDuty, #MahamaParliament, and #BagbinAhiaforAsiamah trending as Ghanaians dissect the claim and debate the state of governance. Memes, fiery threads, and opinion polls flooded Twitter, with many weighing in on whether parliamentary workload is being fairly distributed.
Political analysts note that such statements, while controversial, shine a spotlight on perceived bureaucratic strain and fuel public discourse about leadership, accountability, and the pressures of governance.
One thing is certain: the NPP MP’s claim ensures that Bagbin, Ahiafor, and Asiamah are at the center of a heated national conversation about power, responsibility, and political fatigue under Mahama.
