“Our best years are still ahead of us, it is time for you to restore this faith that you have shown. We shall ride the storm and conquer the pandemic. I stand here tonight, unafraid, undoubted ….I come to you as a daughter and a sister, a mother and an aunt and because of what you have made me – a leader.”
