Well, the whole of today Thursday 7th October 2021, media spaces have been flooded by a number of events, from President Museveni receiving a special message from his Counter part President Joe Biden delivered by the US Ambassador in Uganda, Amb Brown, who paid a courtesy call to the President at State House.
Then Uganda cranes is playing a football game with our neighbors who closed boarderlines!
Then comes the comedy and drama since theaters are closed, JEEMA headquarters were suitable grounds!
Mbu launch for People’s Front For Transition (PFT), a pressure group that has strategically packaged its self by making Rtd Dr Col Kizza Besiggye as the supreme head and other political party heads as members of the executive! Including Mr Ken Lukyamuzi, the man! What a joke?!!!
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) with President Museveni at the helm, has been given an open cheque to swallow all of them at once that is if they don’t swallow themselves in struggle for positions in the Karl.
This shows that the current opposition is struggling to weaken each other, reason why national Unity Platform(NUP) is or was not part of this whole arrangement.
By the time we reach 2026, this whole pressure group will have disintegrated and each party will be fronting their individual candidate.
This will weaken opposition further as well NUP will most likely loose its majority influence especially in Buganda and Busoga.
The tagline PFT is using is very confusing, you can not call for a transition Government when Uganda has just been in elections and elected a President, H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who is serving with a fully constituted cabinet and all institutions or arms of Government operating normally and you call the regime illegitimate?
As if this is not enough, you promise naive Ugandans that this regime of Mr Museveni has only 21 days to collapse! What a joke?!!
The count down has already began though this time around Ugandans have refused to go to Busega to witness how Mr Museveni will be escorted to Rwakitura, they have refused! This lie was told in 2006, 2011, 2016 & nothing has worked out!
As far as Ugandans are Concerned, there is only one legitimate President of Uganda, live, steady and still serving.
Some of the opposition figures that endorsed Dr Kizza Besigye have kept riding on the minds of ignorant Ugandans but time is catching up with them as much as it could be catching up with President Museveni.
In any case, why did the opposition fail to endorse one candidate against President Museveni in the past elections? Isn’t it because of selfish individual interests and greed for power? Ugandans have now opened their eyes.
There is a new breed of leaders cropping up that has nothing to do with the group of Dr Kizza Besigye and his colleagues, there is a new NRM in the making. This is the force that will take charge.
The promise of a better Future, a better Uganda remains in the new breed of leaders, 2026 and beyond.
For God and My Country Uganda.
