“I have one more scheduled date with the House when I will be here to give an accounting of my time in office. By that time, my successor would have been elected, and we would be getting ready for the swearing-in ceremony. The elections will be held peacefully, and the candidate with the credibility to take us to a higher level will win. Let me wish all of us well in the elections on 7th December.
