“There is a big problem with the 1986 group who behave the same as President Museveni and Dr. Kizza Besigye. President Museveni has never dreamt of life after the presidency; it's worse for our brother Besigye, who believes nobody can serve better than him.”

“We may belong to different political formations, but we should not forget to fight against our biggest enemy, who is President Museveni and his allies. We should overcome fear because dictators are not strong enough, as you may think. Mr. Museveni is like a paper tiger. You will not know how weak he is until you kick him out of powe.”
