Thanking the staffs directly, he emphasised that his accomplishments in the past one and a half years were made possible only through their collective effort. “Everything I’ve done in my one and a half years in office was because of the people who worked for me and believed in me,” he said. “I was just a ‘frontman’ for your hard work.”
