Sam George Schools Tolon MP In Parliament, Calls Him Unintelligent

• A video of Sam George facing off against Hon Alhaji Habi Iddrisu in Parliament has surfaced on social media
• He lambasted the MP of the New Patriotic Party, who is also the Deputy Minority Whip, calling him unintelligent
• The video garnered significant traction on social media as Ghanaians weighed in on George's strong comments

MP for Ningo Prampram and the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, has courted attention online following his face-off with a colleague in Parliament.

The Communications Minister's ballistic moment involved Hon Alhaji Habib Idrissu, the MP for Tolon Constituency, who doubles as the Deputy Minority Whip in Parliament.

The video, published by Ghana Web on June 12, 2025, captured Sam George's attempt to reorient the NPP MP about the house's standing orders.

The minister argued that the minority whip was not on top of the fact that he wears two hats in parliament, as a Minister of State and an MP for the Ningo Prampram.

The Ningo Prampram MP established in his submission that the whip's character was a mirror reflection of the entire minority in parliament.

The National Democratic Congress, with 183 seats, command an overwhelming majority in parliament compared to the minority's 88 MPs, all belonging to the New Patriotic Party.

"Our friends on the other side are now the number they are with this kind of leadership," George said as he begun his address to his colleague.

The house erupted in a roar of laughter as Sam George described the minority whip as unintelligent.

"You're comparing apples to oranges. How do you quote a standing order and do not understand the standing order?" he jabbed at the NPP MP.
