“In an orderly society, if I apply to be a candidate and pay all the necessary fees, courtesy demands that you tell me that your name is not there.

“I carry grace. I carry the favour. I carry the God-factor. Give me the opportunity to speak with party delegates and you will see what will happen. The president is 15th and I’ll be number 16th.”
