National Unity Platform (NUP) president, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine said it was “a dark day for the Catholic Church, and a dark day for Uganda.”
“I’ve learnt with shock about the sudden death of His Grace Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, the Archbishop of Kampala. It will be very hard to cope with this unimaginable loss,” added the former presidential contender.
Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president, Dr Kizza Besigye described the news about the prelate’s death as “most shocking announcement!”
“After leading the Uganda Joint Christian Council on the Way of The Cross and celebrating mass yesterday, he retired to join the Lord. Great loss for the country at a very difficult time.
My thoughts are with Catholic Church and all people of faith,” the four time presidential contender said.
Former leader of opposition, Ms Winnie Kiiza described Dr Lwanga as a wonderful man of God and a pleasant person.
“My condolences to his family, the Catholic community, and the people of Uganda. Will miss him. Will miss him a lot,” she said.
