Addressing a news conference at Arua State Lodge on Thursday, Museveni said: “I cannot abandon Uganda to people who have no mission for this country.”
On the question of being referred to as a ‘power hungry,’ Museveni said he is ‘mission hungry.’ We are focused on creating more jobs, so that the value of labour will increase. I cannot be intimidated by people with no mission.”
He explained that his leadership is based on missions.
The press conference aimed at providing a wrap up of the major issues that he campaigned on in the region. The most prominent issues at the rallies have been electrification, modern agriculture, education, health and Infrastructure development.
