The singer's touching speech at the gathering made sure to rule out a reliance on a godfather. There won't be room for one, not even on his presentation slides.
"I have to tell you I am under no illusion that this is going to be easy.
"Considering who we are going against, some think that it is impossible. They said we don't have money to run, we said our strength is in our numbers.

"They say we don't have the structure, we say we will attempt to build it.
"They say what if you lose? I say what if we win?!," the crowd roars from a hall as Banky's speech hits a momentum.

"And we have intellectual capacity and integrity and the right intentions. And last but not least, we have a whole lot of hope.
"At the end of the day, hope may very well be all that we have. But I truly believe that it is all we need.
