I hope he would learn to take the whip just like he was whipping all of us when we were in government. If he listens to my advice, he would go far,\u201d he said during an interview with Metro TV.<\/p>\n<p>Ahwoi further advised Dr. Abbey to be wary of women and desist from corrupt activities if he gets a ministerial appointment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComport yourself very well like you\u2019ve comported yourself all along.
