“We are our successes and we are also our failures.Do not be discouraged nor distracted, keep striving and the sky will be your limit. We are doing this to consciously support your effort and energy so that tomorrow, you will be conscious when this community needs help, you must give help to this community.
“The truth is we must have something to give to you people. We will not handover quarrels to you people, we will not handover negative energy to you people, what we will handover to you people is quality leadership and I will not relent in doing that”.
