Despite previously objections, the Minority backed the acceptance of Justice Honyenuga whom they accused of likely versus the ethics of his occupation when he publicly endorsed President Akuf-Addo’s next phrase bid.
The Position Member on Parliament’s Constitutional and Lawful Affairs Committee, Inusah Fuseini, for occasion had stated he was not able to help the nominee’s elevation to the Apex Court.

But talking on the ground of Parliament on Thursday, the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu mentioned they would not keep Justice Honyenuga’s reviews towards him mainly because he has apologised.
“I do not consider that any individual would want to hold this in opposition to him over and above “I’m sorry” and “I apologise.
