Speaking in Tamale during a unity walk exercise organised by the NDC, he urged party supporters to look forward to the 2020 battle after eight months of quarrelling.

He said: "When you come out of a defeat, you need time to heal, and, so, in the aftermath of the defeat, you will have disagreement as to who caused that defeat and that will lead to quarrels amongst you but you’ve gone through that process we called catharsis, you must put your differences behind and start to look forward the next battle.
