“John is not my friend, he is my brother and I would never allow politics to come between us nor would I allow politics to destroy our brotherhood,” he said.
“Aside from John being a brother to me, the NDC is one party, so this controversy between John and I, would be settled at home and for all you know, the issue may have already been resolved,” he added.
He claimed that only calls from Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency residents and party supporters had any bearing on his choice to run against his brother for the NDC’s parliamentary seat.
