“I have decided to come forward and see how to escort the Bazukulu and their parents forward for another five years and in this time I want us to really wipe out corruption” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (28.06.2025)
Not breaking news from the Republic over the weekend. There has been no shocker and no earthquakes. Just another Saturday and a weekend where the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
I’m just one of the brothers who are tired of the erasing of the 1986 to 1996. Because he held the first election in 1996 and that’s how they count it to be 7 terms. Yes, 7 terms are bad and shows how he has self-styled President for Life. That’s nothing new either, as he has amended and changed the Constitution to fit his narrative and life. Therefore, we have to educate people about the lost decade.
The lost decade of 1986 to 1996 has to count as two terms, as he has since been “elected” for new years every 5 years ever since. That’s why he has held polls in 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, 2021 and now in the coming year, 2026. But we should count 1986 and 1991 as well. Even if there were no polls. It is still two terms and a time he defied the need for elections and was a “transitional” government after the bush-war of the 1980s.
So, let us not say his trying to get “elected” for a seventh term. His getting elected for the ninth time. He is serving currently on his eight term. That is what his finishing and doing the final run for the 9th time. That would be sincere and it shows how long he has been in office. It is just a true reflection of how long he has lingered in power and reluctantly avoid leaving or retire.
His using corruption as an excuse to stay in office. Just like he has used the integration and the supposed wish to ensure a stronger East African Federation or a more unified East African Community. However, we know he hasn’t worked for that and only swayed his own ways over the years. That is just another long-con of the old man and now he uses corruption for his own personal gain. Just like he has used the tricks and theatrics to enrich himself and the inner circle surrounding him. We are not supposed to know that, but this trade is as old as the old man. This is his system and his political methods, which are now widely used and protocol. Therefore, we cannot run away from it and he has gained vast wealth because of it.
So, Mr. Ninth Term and the only man with a vision. Mr. Sunday who promised “fundamental change” and pledged for a liberation. He himself got liberated and so did the ones who is aligned with him. Nevertheless, the rest who dares to defy him or go out of his circle. They can suddenly be touched… and be in legal jeopardy. That’s what we have seen and this is how he runs his republic.
His not running for a better nation or securing your future. This isn’t steady progress, but more of the same. He should just run on “No Change” like it is 1996. Because his coming with nothing and taking it all. Just like he did yesterday and the day before, the decade before and before the millennium. He has generational wealth, because he stole from the future generations. Peace.
