As a sign of victory, the Minority Members of the House, who tied white bands around their necks and arms, praised God for their Leader’s victory at the Court of Appeal.
Waving white handkerchiefs in the air and praising God for the legal victory, the NDC MPs song “Daa n’ase, Daa n’ase, Da Onyame Ase!” to wit, ““Thank You God, O Thank You God!”
Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, the NDC MP for Tamale South and a former Minority Leader, informed the House that the Minority was celebrating Dr Forson’s victory in the Ambulance Trial at the Court of Appeal.
Dr Forson, who was present in the chamber, did not make any comment.
