Addressing party faithful, he recounted the NPP's 2007 primary held at the University of Ghana campus where Nana Addo barely crossed the line and had to rely on a valuable concession from him.
This, he said, was to avoid a second round of voting in the election which had 17 aspirants.
According to him, the decision was borne out of love and sacrifice for the party.

"You remember when we went to Legon to elect a leader, you remember there were only two people out of the 17, who and who? Alan and Nana Addo, you remember?" he asked.
He said: "I had over 32% and Nana had over 40%, but because of the unity of the party, I decided that I will support Nana so we all rallied behind him. It is time for other people to sacrifice and give Alan the chance to lead this party."
