President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Wednesday October 22, 2025 assured the people of Lamwo District of continued government investment in infrastructure, education, and wealth creation programs to lift households out of poverty and consolidate peace in Northern Uganda.

Addressing a campaign rally at Padibe Boys Primary School in Padibe Town Council, Lamwo District, the President began his remarks by condoling with families affected by the recent accident in Kiryandongo.

During the 1996 election campaigns, President Museveni was given a grinding stone (olubengo in Luganda) thereby being endorsed as the most suitable candidate to lead Uganda's burdens. This took place at Nyenga Sub-County headquarters in Buikwe District.

The olubengo was a symbol of strength and perseverance, meant to project the image of a leader ready to bear the weight of national responsibility. The grinding stone became a unique part of the 1996 campaign.

Thousands of jubilant supporters thronged Kaunda Grounds in Gulu City on Wednesday October 22, 2025,  to welcome President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) presidential flag bearer, as he addressed the people of Gulu and the wider Acholi sub-region.

With the air buzzing with excitement and banners waving in support of NRM, President Museveni opened his address with a heartfelt greeting.

Reflecting on Uganda’s past, President Museveni highlighted the critical role of peace in achieving regional progress.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has promised that the government is going to give special consideration to Acholi under the new format of the cattle compensation program, which will soon be rolled out across the Acholi, Lango, and Teso sub-regions.

The program seeks to redress the historical loss of livestock and wealth suffered by families during the insurgencies that ravaged Northern Uganda for decades.
