Odong Romeo you fought me with all your heart but I have forgiven you. I have forgiven you and if Acholi will also forgive you then is well and good but if they refuse to forgive you then is upon you and why have I said so, it's because the only person who has made all people in Northern Uganda saying that NRM, NRM, NRM is me."- He said
