“I will plead with all and sundry that after our party goes to elect our flagbearer on October 18th, we would all throw our support behind him, unite and fight a unified political battle to unseat President Mahama and the NDC,” he said on his Facebook. wall
Adding that, “It is in this vein that I will plead with all the supporters of the three aspirants to be measured in the type of language they will use on each other in the run up to October 18”.
The NPP leader further insisted that, “We [NPP] cannot afford to fail Ghanaians this time round. I wish all the aspirants the best of luck ahead of October 18. Long live NPP, Long live mother Ghana”.
