But at the same time, leaders we must restrained them in what they do in terms of addressing their opponents.“I have already called the meeting of our communications group and asked that their communications should reflect the person that I am, and that if there are any personality attacks, they should not respond in kind.”Meanwhile, the President has urged relatives of his predecessor agitating over where he should be buried to remain calm and allow the committee to put together a befitting burial.
