He told the students that former Presidents Jerry John Rawlings, John Kufuor and John Evans Atta Mills got the backing of their kinsmen in the Volta, Ashanti and Central regions respectively, but bemoaned the fact that in the president's home Region, he did not get enough support.
He said: "When a Voltarian stood to be President, the whole of Volta Region voted for him until he stopped being President.

"Jerry John Rawlings and when Ashanti man stood to be President, the whole of Ashanti Region rallied behind him until he stopped to become President, President Kufour.
"When Professor Atta Mills decided to run for President, the whole of Central Region, his home region, voted massively for him before he could win in 2008. And do you know the sad news? When John Mahama from the Northern Region decided to be President in 2012, the NDC in Northern Region lost 11 constituencies.
"For the first time in the history of this country in the fourth Republic, we had a President, who won to be President without the support of his home region.
“It is not as if he is biassed because he is from the north, but it is also because he knows when he retires, he will come home, and that is why it is incumbent upon us to vote for him. December 7 is just around the corner and God has given us a second chance. Maybe it is time for us to prove whether we love each other or we don’t love each other,” he added.
