I Think Arua Central Can Give Hon. Ejiku Robert A Chance This Time. I Know Oli women Might Have A Different Thought, But For NRM Primaries, He Is One in A Million Competent Leader Among The Contestants!!!

This is what I think would be the best choice for NRM in the Primaries.
In the year 2016, when Gor Mahia FC came for a friendly match in Namboole against ONDUPARAKA FOOTBALL CLUB, I and other 40 fans took a Coaster Mini Bus to travel for that game from Arua to Central. Mid-Way around Migyera, just after Kigumba, we were involved in a Nasty accident (as we rammed on a packed trailer) and our mini bus got wrecked. 2 of our Fans got seriously injured due to glass cuts, and most of us got minor injuries. We made calls to some Important people in the club and also some members who were not affiliated to the club. They advised us to try and get any means to reach Kampala and then they will find a way for us to get back to Arua. We managed to use other means to reach Kampala, this time with no money. All the money's we had were paid to the owner of the mini bus at departure from Arua, the little others we used to push us to Kampala. The owner of the mini bus couldn't agree to give us back even any amount to help us, he switched off his phones.
Hon. Robert Ejiku called me and some few others, and told us, they will find a Way for us (40 fans from Arua) to go back to Arua. But first, let's go to Namboole and watch the football match. The club gave us 40+ fee tickets, green Onduparaka FC T-shirts because the ones we were wearing were full of blood.
I think the game ended 2:1, I can't remember well but I remember Messi scoring a goal and Gadaffi Gadino playing very hard tackling challenges on Gor Mahia FC players.
After the game, Hon. Ejiku Robert and Club Chairman Benzamin Nyakuni, called me and some other fans ,and told us, they are mobilising for us some transport money to transport all of us back to Arua, but it's not possible in the same evening. It will only be possible the next day.
Another tragic hits us again. We didn't know where we were going to spend the night, and we couldn't ask for accommodation from them yet they were mobilising for us transport. So we brainstormed that those who can get accommodation within Kla, can go and then come back to Arua park at 7:00am, then those who can't get any free accommodation will have to go to a secure place and spend the night there, yes, the only secure place was Centenary Park (Night Hawk) club where there used to be West Nile night.
We were given free entrance, our bags were taken and kept in a secure place, those who wanted to dance the stress danced, those who wanted to sleep on the chairs did so, and those who went home went. We spent that whole night with Hon. Ejiku Robert and other friends till Morning at Night Hawk.
In the Morning, we realised some of the fans had money and had boarded to leave for Arua, we were remaining 33.
Hon. Ejiku Robert and Benzamin Nyakuni (Onduparaka FC Chairman) managed to mobilise 1,000,000 UGX for us, the Money was not enough as GaaGaa bus was charging 35,000 for Arua Kla route meaning we would need 1,155,000 for transport. Remember this was in the morning and we were all hungry.
Hon. Ejiku Robert handed over 1M into my hands, told us to use 100,000UGX for breakfast, and then take 900,000 to GaaGaa bus. They managed to talk to The Manager of Gaagaa bus, I think her name was Lucy, we reached Arua park and Lucy was waiting for us. I handed her 900,000 and they gave us 1 receipt for the 33 fans. Hon Ejiku Robert and Benzamin Nyakuni handled the rest with GaaGaa bus without us knowing. We devided the 100,000UGX among 33 fans including me, everyone got 3,000. We had a balance of 1000 that remained and the fans said, that 1,000UGX should be mine. I took it.
Yes, all the 33 fans reached Arua at around 6:30pm that day, when i stepped out of the bus, i was in tears. I didnt know how to thank Hon. Ejiku and other friends. I just picked my phone and called him, telling him all of us reached home safely.
Ever since that time, I know what kind of person Hon. Ejiku Robert is.
Dear Hon. Ejiku Robert, I know you remember this scenario well well.
I just want to say, Thank you so much for that leadership.
