The Member of Parliament for Kpandai, Matthew Nyindam, has alleged that South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor sought to remove him from Parliament even before an election dispute over his seat arose.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, Mr Nyindam claimed his colleague told him shortly after they were sworn in that he would be pushed out of Parliament
He said he dismissed the claim, insisting that his mandate comes solely from his constituents.
The Kpandai MP, who served in the sixth and seventh Parliaments but lost his seat in the eighth, argued that subsequent developments suggested coordinated efforts against him.
“We all entered Parliament, and I was sworn in just like anybody on January 7. Then I got a colleague who walked up to me to say he would get me out of Parliament. This event was before the case about the election dispute came about.
“I told him straight that, look, you are not my God. If you see me in Parliament, it is because my people gave me the mandate to come here.
“From there, we heard all the under dealings. Eventually, he took over the centre stage. Anytime issues of Kpandai will pop up, you will see only Dafeamekpor talking about it,” he said, describing the level of interest in the matter as “unfortunate.”
