Addressing delegates in Sene East during his campaign tour, he highlighted key contributions to the party.

He revealed that at the behest of former president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, he left his job at the Bank of Ghana to work for the NPP.

According to him, many asked him to rescind the decision. However, because of his loyalty to the party, he resigned from the bank to be their running mate.

“I defended the party in 2012. We lost, but I stayed in Ghana to put pressure on John Dramani Mahama and the NDC,” he added.
