“I am happy for you and many people today who had rights, but their rights were trampled upon by bullies.

“Sometimes in life, bullies hate it when you stand up to them. That is exactly what happened.

“When Dino’s name was called by a governor outside of his zone, saying Dino was not eligible, qualified to be a governor. Dino challenged him. He never said a word after then. And that’s what led to Dino’s victory. And I celebrate Dino today.

“May God give you the wisdom to win this election as the next governor so that we can right the wrongs.

“Your victory sweetens my stomach because bullies are being stopped, and we must stop the spread of imperialism in our party.”
