I thank the media for accurate reportage before, during and after the election.

I want to assure my people that their criticisms showed me my fault lines from which I would learn to carry everybody along in the discharge of my duty.

Finally, I ask constituents, especially those who contested the election with me to accept my olive hand to join me to create a virile egalitarian society in which they system works for all.

With me as your Senator, I assure you that the future of our zone is secured.
