Not Cup of tea! Museveni Dares Bobi Wine to Cause Anarchy As Bunyoro NUP Coordinator Crosses to NRM

Hoima – The National Resistance Movement Candidate Yoweri Museveni has dared foreign-backed opposition fraternity to destabilise Uganda, promising to deal with them.

While addressing NRM delegates drawn from Kikuube, Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandongo at Duhaga Primary School Playgrounds, Museveni disclosed that foreign elements were using politicians like especially NUP’s Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine to cause instability in Uganda.

“Please forgive Kyagulanyi; he doesn’t understand Uganda. He has fools who are supporting him especially foreign forces and even those here that I know. My intelligence is the know,” said Museveni

He added: When these forces saw these angry young people and decided to incite them to destabilize Uganda – like they did in Libya, Zimbabwe and Sudan They forget that we are a different cup of tea. They won’t manage.”

President Museveni sternly warned a section of politicians backed by foreign forces to create instability that they shall not be tolerated citing that investment opportunities for Ugandans shall not be sabotaged.

Museveni rapped party leaders for not mentoring the youths who have since crossed over to opposition in anger for being left-out who have since resorted to unsolicited practices under the guidance of wrong foreign forces.

Museveni made the remarks while Bunyoro NUP Coordinator, Godwin Kasigwa Angalia who crossed over the NRM party on Saturday.

Aguunda revealed that he had been misguided and reflected on the peace and security brought by the movement government prompting his change of heart.

“After joining NUP, I reflected on the peace brought by NRM and saw what other opposition leaders’ agenda of destabilizing Uganda. I thank the NRM for peace in this region,” said Angalia as he cited denouncing the tyre-burning hooliganism perpetuated by politicians against the peace of Uganda.

Museveni praised Angalia for being patriotic and vowed to reclaim the youths that have crossed to the opposition after they realise that they were misled and the NRM government has the best interests at heart.

The NRM candidate emphasised that growth of investment and development heavily depended on peace and security and the future of the oil and gas sector that is set to benefit Bunyoro equally relied on it.

On land issues, Museveni tasked the District land boards to sensitise and educate the masses on the fight against fake land title ownership that seen several residents lose their land. He asked Beatrice Byenkya Nyakayisiki, the former Hoima Woman MP, who now chairs the Uganda Land Commission (ULC) to look into the matters raised by the delegates and people of Bunyoro.

In June 2020, the lands Minister started a systematic demarcation, survey, and titling of privately-owned land in the two districts under the land fund to cater for landlords with large parcels of land so that the people who had encroached on their land are given rights of ownership. 

On fishing on Lake Albert, Museveni urged the fishermen and agro-processing businesspersons to adhere to the set practices and standards as well as maintaining a good relationship with authorities to avoid clashing.

Museveni rapped Marine police and security authorities to desist from clashing with fishermen on the Lake but rather guide regulate their activities to enable the co-existence and harmony in fishing.

In May 2020, Marine police officers impounded 11 boats from fishermen at Sebigoro landing site in Kikuube district for allegedly defying a night-time ban on fishing activities on Lake Albert in the districts of Hoima, Kagadi, Kikuube and Buliisa.

The district security committee observed that some Ugandan fishermen were crossing to the Democratic Republic of Congo where they were mixing freely with communities on the other side before crossing back to Uganda. This, the committee said was a risk to Ugandans at a time when the country was locked down to contain the spread of coronavirus disease.
