"Having known the second deputy speaker of parliament, he has all the qualities to make him the flagbearer of his party, even though he has not personally told me in person that he wants to lead his party…that can only be possible if he will be given the chance to do so within his party, the National Democratic Congress. Let us not also forget that in politics the best does not always win….like I have said earlier on it is so with politics everywhere" he added.
