Those who believe that after I have left the government as prime minister, I will go into a permanent retirement, really should have their heads examined.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was not born to be prime minister, and I'm not going to stay here until the end of my life. I'm too young for that.
I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.
Being a prime minister is a very demanding job. And as long as I have the strength, I will continue to do this and be of benefit to my country.
Pay no heed to those who tell you that they have relinquished place and power of their own accord, and from their love of quiet. For almost always they have been brought to this retirement by their insufficiency and against their will.
I have completed 43 years in politics and have been a minister of state, chief minister, and a Cabinet minister. A person who survives so many years is bound to face some attacks. It doesn't affect me because I know the truth.
I don't believe in retirement.
I will retire with the reputation of Idi Amin.
I think the notion of retirement is just a dreadful, dreadful idea and I hope I never have to do that.
I grew up thinking that if I wanted to go be prime minister, I could.
That is why with enormous regret I have tendered my resignation to the prime minister today.
