Speaking during the celebrations, Emmanuel Okware, the Deputy Resident District Commissioner of Adjumani, stated that the renewed mandate given to President Museveni reflects the confidence that Ugandans have in the achievements registered by the NRM government over the years.

“We all know the achievements of NRM in the last 5 years. And it was based on this that he was given another mandate and not only by the people who are in Adjumani, but by the whole nation,” Okware added.

“…we are proud as Adjumani to be able to join and to come together to mark this day, to demonstrate our own happiness, our own celebration in Adjumani,” Okware added.

Representing persons living with disabilities, Dipio Beatrice described the swearing-in as a moment of joy and reassurance for many Ugandans who continue to value peace and stability in the country.

“Today, we are putting our NRM chairman, the president of Uganda, none other than Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, in the seat. I am so encouraged that the citizens of Uganda will continue living in peace and the peace will continue because we know who he is, and how he ruled the country.”

“This means a lot to us, that we boda boda, we need to work hard due to his efforts for us. For example, one of the roads here is tarmacked. So, we are very happy that the consumption of the fuel has been going high, but due to the tarmac we can minimise it although the price of the fuel has gone high,” Savi noted.
