"It is never true, I can never describe him as somebody not fit for president," Annoh-Dompreh said.

"We are only concerned about speaking English. Annoh-Dompreh gets up and says I am not a presidential material. Have you ever seen a foolish rich man?" Kennedy Agyapong questioned in the audio shared by Oman Channel on YouTube.
