“I haven’t come for the Akyems, the Ashantis, Fantes, the Dagombas or any other tribe; I came for Ghana,” the former attorney general told a gathering of NPP supporters at Madina in Accra Sunday.

He said Ghanaians must give consideration to their current living conditions and the economic atmosphere in country as they make the decision on who to vote for in the 2016 elections.

“If you are starving today, and experiencing the suffering and hardships in the country, why won’t you make a decision that can change things for the better.

"I haven’t come to serve tribes, I came to serve Ghana so give me the opportunity to do so,” he stated.
