"For me, to say that based on the confidence with which I walked out of that stadium in Tamale, telling everybody that by March, end of the first quarter of 2016 even NDC will [concede defeat], that certainty is no longer there. It’s a toss-up."
"[victory] is still there, it is possible but for me to say that; based on the confidence with which I walked off that stadium in Tamale after my victory telling everybody that by March, end of first quarter of 2016 even NDC would have hands up and say it’s gone; we don’t have it any longer, that certainty is gone,” he noted".
