"I wish to state without any fear of contradiction that the Executives are resolute with desirable energies in their quest to unite the ranks of the party in the region.

"I have the intention to contest for the flag bearer of the great NDC when nominations are opened by the party in 2018. I have since been doing consultations regarding my intention with party elders and faithful. You will agree with me that, such a consultation will be defective if I do not consult the people of my own region."
