Cleitinho Azevedo: If Lula wins the election, and I win the election, my first act as governor — and I will tell you the truth — I will not wait to be certified or sworn in.
Cleitinho Azevedo: When November comes, if I have been re-elected, and I have also been elected as... governor of the state, the first meeting I want to hold is with Lula.
I want to look him in the eye and ask for help, because it makes no sense to be confrontational when you're the one in debt.
Cleitinho Azevedo: It's the same thing as if I owe Edilene here and I go talk to Edilene in a rude way, pointing my finger at her and wanting her to help me pay that debt to Edilene.
Cleitinho Azevedo: It won't be with fights or arguments; it will be with dialogue.
