Opinion: Muhoozi needs to get the memo…

General Muhoozi Kainerubaga, the Senior Presidential Adviser For Special Operations and the Army Commander, the former Commander of the Land Forces and the former commander of the Special Forces Command (SFC). The avenger of the father, President Yoweri Tibuhurwa Kaguta Museveni. That man better listen and do it quickly.

The man is toying around with becoming his fathers successor. That’s been in the cards since the revelation of a “Project Muhoozi” in 2013. However, the times has changed and it isn’t even controversial. The General and First Son is now in the open campaigning for himself. His appointing his team and building his political platform/Pressure Group or future political party the MK Movement. Which is the Revitalized-National Resistance Movement (R-NRM) in many regards. Therefore, we know what is coming. If it isn’t in 2026, it is in 2031 or before that even. Depending on the sudden departure or end of his father. That is something nobody knows except for the almighty.

Let’s just be clear. The knowledge of coup d’etat’s and the sudden overthrow of despotic governments happen. Not only in West Africa, but elsewhere too. Things just has to get so grim and hopeless. That some patriotic or army commander steps in to fill the void. They come in as fresh air and believe they can spark reform and make a vast difference in the Republic. However, a lot of times… they just become alike the ones they overthrow. Just like the father became like every single one of them ones he toppled and has an even worser records as time goes by.

Muhoozi should read the room and should be careful. He can easily end up like Ali Bongo. If not be like one of the kids of Gadaffi. There is nothing that is certain. Even if he gets to inherit the throne after his father. We saw how suddenly things changed in Libreville. Same has happened in other nations too and it isn’t foreign to happen in Uganda either.

The only difference in Uganda is that his father used this method on several occasions and ensure to compromise or settle his opponents. In such a fashion that he bought himself peace and hope. That lasted for decades. However, Muhoozi isn’t the same breed or the same sort of character. Neither does he have the mental capacity or the charisma to pull it off. He cannot even dance on stage or show finesse in speeches. His living in a deluded world of “yes-men” thinking his the closest thing to God. While his just a mere mortal and not a demi-god like he think he is. Why do I say that?

Well, his invading Nairobi in three days. I don’t think he could barricade Kololo within 48 hours either. Except burning it down like the Palace in Kasese. This man isn’t a builder or a man of the future. No, Muhoozi is a man of the past before even settling into office. He got nothing to deliver and has no clue of how to achieve anything. Everything been handed to him and catered to him. The arrogance and the entitlement will haunt him.

Just like the funk musician of Gabon. The soldier of Entebbe or Kampala will be shell of man in office. He needs fellow wise-guys to takeover and be the shining star. However, we know that Muhoozi don’t want to share the spotlight and neither intends to share his power either. His a greedy and spoiled man. That’s why his bound to fail. He don’t have the character or the ability to figure this out. The Balaam of this world is only using him as a tool for personal gains and why shouldn’t he?

Muhoozi cannot grasp that and thinks his right. The arms and guns will turn on him. The moment the centre is weak and lacks courage. The moment the General and his men are not watching. That’s when the coup-makers will strike and his demise will be televised. The words of the fall of Muhoozi would create scenes of celebration across the Republic. The son of the tyrant and the end of tyranny. It would be finalization and end the chapter of the 1986 brigade. Because, Muhoozi lives on this myth and legend. He will further it in his quest of making the family a dynasty. However, it will fail and Muhoozi lacks the vital pieces of leadership skills to push things through. He needs others to facilitate and prepare for him. That’s why his a vessel that is bound to sink.

He might not see it himself. Regardless of that… his not that clever or smart to grasp the reality. Neither does he want to accept it. That would be humiliating and he wouldn’t be able to live with himself. His supposed to be next best thing, but his not. He never will be… and that’s why he could easily ask the public to “make some noise” after he was the avenger, the ruthless leader and the son of tyrant. That he wants people suddenly to save him. While he was in power… he didn’t mind keeping people incommunicado, kidnapped, tortured or even killed to ensure longevity of the regime. Nevertheless, the moment the army turns on him and they arrests him. He will beg for mercy and be humble.

Until then… he will act like the Crown Prince, the next in line to takeover from his father. Peace.
