A friend of mine who happened to be a partner and a former co-worker called me one day and said, he had been given a project and he wanted to see me. He was a contractor so I thought he had a project from government and wanted some financial support from me. But he said no; ‘you’re actually the project’. I asked how? And he said he had been given a task by the highest level of the NDC to get me to resign from the NPP.

Rex Asanga continued “he told me he was sitting with the top hierarchy of the NDC and they had actually discussed and said that if they didn’t get me out of the way, they could lose the bolga parliamentary seat. They were ready to go into whatever terms I wanted. So I said ‘but you know me that money, houses and cars are not my problem. What will anyone do for me that I’ll sacrifice my integrity?’ But he insisted saying they just wanted me to resign from NPP and join them”.
