He however, said such mentality and apporach of having political structures to win is not what he stand for or intend to create to win the presidential election.
Speaking about campaign, he urged the people to invite other presidential candidates to come and speak to them directly not sending proxies who will speak on their behalf.
He said people should take time to examine all the presidential candidates, their past activities and what they stand to offer the country.
He urged the people to vote him not based on his ethic group or religion, but based on what they think he can offer in solving the country’s problems.
