He is a political strategist, his bold stance, his communication skills and his fearless posture to stand the NDC and deal with the NDC are all attributes we need. we also remember him for bringing up the issue of the Airbus.
“All these make him the best one as a National Organiser who can bring the NPP to power., if only he will contest we the grassroots will support him,” he told editors.3news.com.
