The purpose is to restore the lost glory of this beautiful state and reposition this state as one of the vibrant, progressive, prosperous, and strong states and put ourselves in the highest place.”

The Leader of the Opposition also promised to eradicate the prevailing ‘monopoly’. “People have been telling how the other leaders are discriminating against them, depriving them in order to establish their monopoly. It is our duty to make society free from this cruel act of monopoly,” he said.
