From “Museveni Hints At 2011 Poll Plans” in the Daily Monitor, M7 says:
- “All these ministers you see here are your servants. The other time I was a freedom fighter but you elected me into office, now I am your servant. If you don’t vote me into office, I will not complain. I will retire to my home.”

Therefore, the liberation struggle you supported brought back that key to power that Obote had taken away from you.”
- “Government is the army,” the President said. “If the army is stable, then everything will be stable. Issues of economy and politics, those are additions.”
The article concludes with this lovely bit about M7:
