“I’m driving the bus all the way to the North East Region, the hometown of the Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia”
“In my life, as a politician, and in the history of the party, all the flag bearers I have supported won”, he said.
“I supported the late Prof. Adu Boahen, J.A. Kufuor, and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo; they all won to become flag bearers on the ticket of the party”, he said.
“So will Dr Mahamadu Bawumia also win the slot to lead the party for the 2024 general elections”, he noted.
“I have supported candidates who won the party’s slot of the party and never won the general elections but came back and worked hard and won”.
According to him, there will be a lot of groups supporting each candidate because their polls are drawing closer.
He stated that, the fact that, Former MP of Kpone-Katamanso Constituency, Hopeson Adorye has declared his support for Alan Kyeremanteng does not call for insult from the General Secretary of the party, Justin Kodua Frimpong.
He added that, the party needs unity to achieve their agenda in 2024 election and also remember what disunity did to the party some years ago.
