Excerpts:
What informed your decision to meet with the media at this stage of the governorship campaign?
I considered it important to meet with the media for two major reasons. First, I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the support the media gave me during my tenure as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA). Many of the reforms we introduced at the agency received fair and objective coverage, and that support contributed significantly to the success we recorded.
