responsibility. By selecting you, we are not saying you are the best
of the rest, just that you are best placed to do the work. I am sure
our trust in you will not be misplaced.”
“Remember how far you have come and note that each and every one of
you represents me. Consider this in your conduct. APC has a leadership
already. Respect it and show them how hard you can work.
“Beware of those who do not wish you well. We have been known to speak
truth. The bitterness it brings will be translated in several ways.
Expect it. But avoid fights. Your acceptance is their rejection.
Understand it.
“As I speak to you now, they are calling around to recruit all those
who are close to me to denounce our move. Not sure what they hope to
achieve. It is done, but that is just how desperate they are. Do not
be distracted. Let’s get to work.”
