"I keep telling God all the time that if all that I'm doing with my colleagues as a team, you cannot get somebody who is better than us, to come and continue by maintaining what we have achieved and building up, then why are you allowing us to do it? Because somebody who is not better than us will definitely come and destroy it anyway," he said.

Therefore, he appealed to Ghanaians to pray for his administration and a better replacement after his tenure.
