The government New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislator made the appeal when he spoke to a cross section of party supporters in the United States recently.

He said he is not a politician but a leader, promising to bring his leadership qualities on board to move the country forward towards development.

“A leader is the one who thinks of the development of his country and takes bold decisions irrespective of the repercussions. And the politician is the one who thinks of tomorrow’s election and therefore is not bold to take decisions,” he said in a YouTube video shared by Smart Ghana Updates TV.

He said he has been able to retain his set as Assin Central MP for many years because his focus has never been the next election but on delivering sterling leadership to his constituents.
