In his resignation Wambi stated,
“I trust this message finds you well. I write to formally notify you of my decision to step down from the position of President/Chairman of Mbale Heroes Football Club, effective immediately.
This decision is purely a result of personal reasons, the reality of my demanding busy schedule, and upcoming engaging commitments, which will unfortunately limit my capacity to dedicate sufficient time and attention to the club’s affairs.
It has been a great honor to serve Mbale Heroes Football Club in this leadership role. I am proud of the milestones we have achieved together and the firm foundation we have laid for the future.”
Wambi also confirmed the interim leadership of the club as they prepare for their return to the FUFA Big League next season

Please note that although I step aside from the helm, I remain fully committed to the spirit and success of the Club. I shall continue to serve in the capacity of a dedicated supporter, advisor, consultant, & well-wisher whenever called upon.
I am confident that with your continued commitment, the club will rise to even greater heights. Thank you for the trust and the opportunity to serve. I wish you all the very best.” Read the statement from Wambi
During his leadership he helped the club gain top-flight status for the first time in nearly two decades.
