"You should be expecting good things. I will not betray you and I believe you will not also betray me. We are in it together, if it's good, all of us will enjoy it. I 'm here for you and you are her for me".

"Though one of our major challenge is members not complying with the rules and regulations of the union. As a member, you did something wrong and you were disciplined and the next thing you run to court. 

"Those wrong thing can pose a great challenge when members don't respect our union's constitution and bye-laws. We have to see how we can stop all these things. For me, I will start from where my president stopped. He is my brother, my mentor, he has tried his best and I will always consult him for advice".
