"In the end, it will be clear that I have what it takes to lead this party, for I am committed to get (sic) everyone to take it easy with each other.
"We had deep-level conversations.
"I will do all I can that (sic) heaven will see that I tried. From 1998 to date, I challenge anyone who has been more committed.
"I will nevertheless act like David, who fasted while the child was sick but eat and drink when the child died. Only the deep can truly call through the deep.
"What I see sitting, your so-called leaders won't see it standing on a ladder. Enough said!"
