“If God Ever Allows Me To Be President, We Will Capture & Kill Such Dangerous Baboons Like Kabobi, They spread Diseases” Gen Muhoozi Promises As He Posts Kyagulanyi’s Picture

General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of President Yoweri Museveni is facing backlash after making a highly controversial statement on social media. In a tweet posted 23 hours ago, Muhoozi appeared to direct a violent and insulting message at opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, commonly known as Bobi Wine.

The tweet read, “If Almighty God ever allows me to be President of this great country, we will capture and kill such dangerous Baboons! They spread disease.”

According to sources close to Muhoozi’s team, the statement was aimed at Bobi Wine, the leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP) and President Museveni’s strongest political challenger.

The message has drawn sharp criticism from across the political spectrum. Many have condemned Muhoozi for using dehumanizing and threatening language, which critics say promotes hate and could incite violence. Human rights organizations, political leaders, and activists are now calling on authorities to investigate the tweet and take appropriate action.

While Bobi Wine has not issued an official response, several of his allies and supporters have spoken out, labeling the tweet as a clear act of political intimidation.

“This goes beyond politics. It’s a direct threat to someone’s life and should not be ignored,” said one supporter of the NUP.

The tweet comes at a time of increasing political tension in Uganda, with the 2026 general elections approaching. Muhoozi has made several public statements suggesting he intends to run for president, and his MK Movement continues to gain visibility across the country.

While some of his supporters defended the tweet as a show of strength and determination, many Ugandans — including those with no political affiliation — have expressed concern over the tone and implications of such language.

Political commentators have also warned of the potential consequences.

“Statements like these, especially from a person of Muhoozi’s stature, are dangerous. They can fuel division, fear, and even unrest,” said one political analyst based in Kampala.

So far, neither the Uganda Human Rights Commission nor the Electoral Commission has released a statement addressing the tweet.

As it stands, Muhoozi’s message remains online and continues to stir intense debate. While some see it as an expression of frustration, others view it as a troubling sign of the tone Uganda’s politics could take in the coming years.

With elections on the horizon, many Ugandans are calling for calm, maturity, and respect in political conversations. The hope is that leaders, regardless of party, will focus on unity and peaceful dialogue as the country prepares for the future.
