Opinion: Museveni shouldn’t throw stones in a glasshouse

I know Bobi Wine and the fools supporting him who don’t know Uganda very well, foreigners and others who are here but I know all them. I know that this one is a fool and the other one” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in Kikuube, Hoima on 19th December 2020

There are some people who has the foresight and visions to get ahead. President Museveni thinks he did, but apparently he never got there. If he had faith in the general public or people in general. He wouldn’t come with a statement like this. This is intolerant and very sectarian of him.

This is deeming some people and a whole group of supporters for fools. That is very devise and for someone who is a liberator and working for Pan-Africanism. If he was supposed to bring in the whole collective and be working all parts of society. He should also understand and appreciate other opinions.

However, that is not the deal of the old man with the hat. His is a self-entitled, self-styled President for Life and the only man with a vision. This is why Bobi Wine is a fool. That’s because he doesn’t work in accordance to the beliefs and ideas of the Presidency. Everyone is supposed to follow his ‘Correct Line’ and if they don’t they are not part of the “fundamental change” this President promised.

Apparently, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine isn’t following the programme and neither is his supporters. They are trying to remove the old man and his regime. That is clearly violating the ideals of the regime and its cronies who is all working in tandem with this. They are all involved and enriching themselves. They don’t want to loose their bread and butter. However, when someone like Bobi Wine challenge that. It is dumb, stupid and foolish.

Nevertheless, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes, in the gist of it. It can be seen as a hopeless mission to vacate a dictator or a tyrant. That road is so filled with obstacles, hardships and suffering. The state is working against you and all avenues are blocked. There is no way to turn without getting oppressed or suppressed for your belief. Still, you work on it, because the idea of true freedom and liberty will not stop. Not until it happens.

Museveni is not wise calling this enterprise foolish. It makes him insecure and belittling his main competitor. For someone calling politics a battle of ideas. This sort of act shows his indifference to pleas of his citizens. It shows the reality on the ground and what sort of narrative he plays out.

The National Resistance Movement is filled with “yes-men” and only following man’s ideas for decades. The party is run like a one man show. While other organizations are run through protocol and through conferences, which sets the program and manifestos. Therefore, the Chairman and President controls the game. Anyone just supposed to follow him blindly.

This is why the ones who doesn’t is in his eyes a fool. However, that is not true. If so then most people are and many who did follow him has stopped. They have left because they couldn’t following the solo-run of the President. Not like he has the same folks around and only a few choses who has stayed there. Not because of policies or dogma, because that wouldn’t be beneficial to their ways of earning profits on their offices.

The President better start acting rational and not like this. If he thinks this is wise or wisdom. I hate to break it to him. It’s really not that smart and not brilliant either.

This is just desperation and a bad trade of the old man. He should know better, but clearly he don’t. Peace.
