I want to lead this state because i want to serve our people . Take the flood situation for example , our people have become so used to the suffering , and are already looking forward to next year’s flood which is bad, … for us to win, we must work as a team with all hands on deck. Ask the other party what they are scared of that is making them try to stop us using the courts , I am sure the court will do what is right”.
