Member of Parliament for Sissala West, Mohammed Adams Sukparu, has made a startling revelation about the health condition of lawmakers, stating that more than 70% of parliamentarians are suffering from high blood pressure due to the intense demands of the job.
Speaking on Channel One TV's Breakfast Daily on Tuesday, July 8, Sukparu warned that the pressure from constituents, coupled with the stress of parliamentary work, is taking a dangerous toll on the health of MPs. "Sometimes, you have to sacrifice what you have just to solve a problem and find peace of mind.
I can tell you that more than 70% or 80% of the parliamentarians in the chamber have high blood pressure or are patients. "Even people older than I have high blood pressure.
If you are not a BP patient and you get into that House, you will become one.
