Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe, the First Deputy Majority Whip, has eulogised the late Ayawaso East Member of parliament Naser Toure Mahama.
The First Deputy Majority Whip revealed that Naser Toure Mahama was one of the honest persons she has ever met.
According to her, the Ayawaso East MP was a committed and principled lawmaker and was always present in parliament.
Speaking to JoyNews after news of his death, Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe stated, “You have been very good to me, and we have worked together as one people,” she said. “I don’t even know how to express my feelings now because this is not the time to hear this news. I was expecting more from him this year as we deliver for the party to move on.”
“All that I would say is condolences to my wife, my children and the NDC fraternity, and may his soul rest in heaven. It’s not easy,” she said.
“Every day he is present in the house. Go and check our visit attendance. Every day he is there. He will be there from the beginning to the end,” she stated.
“He is one of the honest persons I have ever met in my life. When he says A, it’s A. When he says B, it’s B. He won’t tell you red and then go and come back and say blue. No,” she said, adding, “He is a good person. Never have we lost a conversation.”
