Despite the harrowing experience, Stoan expressed his joy at still being alive to witness another year as he approaches his 49th birthday.

He acknowledged the loss of friends, family, and colleagues who are no longer able to feel pain, emphasizing the preciousness of life. Stoan embraced the new year with optimism, sharing his plans for significant projects aimed at contributing to the growth and development of the country, especially in an election year.
While Stoan acknowledged that his injury is temporarily limiting his activities as he needs time to heal, he views this period as an opportunity for reflection.
"This injury may have slowed me down as I have to stay at home and focus on healing, but it also provides a chance for introspection," Stoan expressed.
