Let me seize the opportunity to thank the media landscape for the support you offered me and my board members, especially those of us who suffered character assassination during these difficult times.Your media outlet is respectfully invited to the press conference on Friday at 10:am to equip yourself with firsthand information.

I want to thank fellow compatriots wherever you are for being supportive of my professional growth in an office that doesn't pay salary or allowance but just a sacrificial work to serve others and one's country.
