"I was at an IEA conference in Aburi when he called to ask me; have you heard what Jerry has gone to say about me in Tamale? I said no I haven't heard and he said to get the audio and listen to it because I have resigned and I don't want anybody to try to stop me," he recalled.
He added: "And I said: Mr. President, I believe that you have resigned, you have decided to resign but I also believe that you're not sure you have taken the right decision; you want a second opinion, otherwise you wouldn’t have called to tell me, I would’ve heard [about it] in the media."
