Bishop Bul told Radio Miraya on Tuesday that he will present his position to the President for further action. "I have no bad feelings about what they have said. I can go to the President and tell him that as far as the Murle community doesn't want me, I will not impose myself to become a chairman so it will be up to the President, but I am ready to quit," he said.
