My campaign team and I have observed an apparent unanimity of abandonment resulting from governmental failure across the country. I saw poverty everywhere, but I also saw untapped talent, improperly used energy, vast arable land and nation’s future diamonds and other minerals. I am thrilled by what I saw across the country in the people’s zeal for something different; people who are suffering but are hopeful about tomorrow”, he said.
