He emphasized that when the youth of Odio are not united, there is a tendency that some people with evil intention will exploit on their shortcomings to bring disunity in the community.
"When we are not united, it is very possible for somebody to come and scatter us. But when we are united and come together, we can fight for our collective interest."

"We are not coming together to insult or abuse our leaders but to pursue our collective interest. Let's have the interest of Odio at heart," he emphasized.
