The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) leaders have urged their members and supporters to continue to exhibit the spirit of unity as a reward to the departed chairperson of the FDC party elders committee,Frank Nabwiso.

The former Kagoma County MP, Frank Nabwiso, passed away aged 84 on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at Mukono Hospital, where he had been receiving special treatment for over a month.

According to the FDC vice chairperson and former member of parliament for Kasese municipality, Robert Centenary, party members should avoid bad energy within the party because Nabwiso asserted himself so much on unity and reconciliation.

“Our appeal to all members of the FDC is to maintain the values of unity and reconciliation. During his prime days, Dr Nabwiso kept preaching love, unity, and reconciliation,” Centenary said.

While paying tribute to the fallen Nabwiso at the FDC party headquarters in Najjanankumbi on Monday, December 16, 2024, FDC party President Patrick Amuriat Oboi said party members should make sure that those who have long mismanaged the nation are stopped as they come together to honor Nabwiso’s life.

“We want to make a commitment before the country and all of you that the FDC will not spare any energy in doing so,” Amuriat said.

The FDC party Secretary General Nathan Nandala Mafabi praised the noble character of the Nabwiso, who was intelligent, joyous, and an encyclopedia of the history of the FDC party.

Throughout his illustrious career, Nabwiso served Uganda with distinction, holding various prominent positions, including Executive Director of the Uganda Export Promotion Council, Director of the AIDS Information Center (AIC), and former Vice Chancellor of Busoga University.
