"Tumeenjoiwa ya kutosha (We the youth have been taken for granted for too long). As one of you, I will fight for you as I lead to bring you hope and change to your lives and those of our beautiful mothers and heroic fathers. Do not give up. There is hope. This is our time na Inawezekana na Itawezekana (It is possible. It will be done.)," he assured his supporters.
