“It has been brought to my attention, and I have also observed that some of my numerous supporters are making personal attacks on other aspirants, candidates.
“Whilst thanking you for your support, which I sincerely value and appreciate, I humbly appeal that we all imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship and avoid name-calling or personal attacks on other aspirants and candidates.
