He expressed the hope that the Effutu delegates would give him the nod to enable him use his expertise and experience to transform the constituency.

According to him, the 2016 election was not a small task, adding that it needed hard work, zeal and vigor to defeat the incumbent.

He urged the delegates to choose a marketable, workable and credible candidate, to lead the NDC in Effutu, adding that the only solution to defeat the NPP MP was to select a good and acceptable candidate.
