And I am convinced our discerning delegates will reward my patriotism, selflessness, hard work, commitment and loyalty over the years.”

He added that he was not only going to win the internal primaries, but was also going to beat the NDC candidate in the 2020 general elections. “I have had the opportunity to address societal issues in diverse ways throughout my life experience; and until now, I have always done things from behind. But with time, I have realized that the best way to bring about the desired change is to step-up and embrace the challenges by the horn. There is no middle ground as at now, that is why I am putting myself up to serve my people.”
