Above all, he truly believed in unity and peace, something which all Ugandans should emulate,\u201d he said in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that though his dream of becoming president of Uganda did not come true, Ssemogerere \u201cshowed us that you can live a decent and simple life but you can still be a public figure whom people admire and emulate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe lived a corruption-free life. During his active participation in politics, his name did not surface anywhere in any corruption scandal, something I want to encourage all the leaders, particularly in the Lango sub-region and Uganda at large to emulate,\u201d Dr Odongo said, noting that Ssemogerere died without any blood in his hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody in his right mind will stand up one day and say Ssemongerere killed his relatives. He died without staining his hands with blood. And as Tekwaro Lango, we believe that we can have differences of opinion; politically, socially or culturally but it should not lead to spilling of blood,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore importantly, when your idea fails to convince people and you fail to attain an elective post, respect those whose ideas were successful and work with them,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p>Ssemogerere, who had been unwell for quite a long time, died at around 4am on Friday at his home in Rubaga Division in Kampala, according to his family. He was aged 90.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTekwaro Lango further extended their condolences to the bereaved family and his clan. May his soul rest in eternal peace,\u201d the Paramount Chief said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
