Do not think of going to the other side because there’s nothing on the other side. That other side is sinking sand. You cannot place something on nothing and expect it to stand. It must fall. I’ve read the constitution of our party and I can assure us that where we are is where the Law is. I can tell you that at the end of the day, we are going to prevail. We shall take what rightfully belongs to us.”

He concluded by declaring them warriors.
He said, “I started by declaring All of you Heroes and I’ll end by declaring all of you Warriors. As you all know, I am from a tribe of warriors and we are all warriors. We are going to fight to the end. We will not be afraid because we stand on the side of truth and at the end of the day, the truth will prevail. We know where we are going to and we are going to take back our State.”
