Exclusive!! Mathias Mpuuga Reveals How America Government Recognizes And Values Him More Than Bobi Wine – Claims Bobi Wine Continues To Lie Ugandans
Mathias Mpuuga, the former Leader of Opposition (LoP), recently appeared on CBS’s “Nze Ngabwendaba” segment, moderated by his advisor Joseph Lukyamuzi, where he shared his thoughts on the National Unity Platform (NUP) and its leadership.
Speaking from the US, where he observed and learned from the American elections, Mpuuga stated that there’s a lot NUP can learn from the experience, but only if the party is led by “sober minds.”
He intends to write a report detailing his findings and share it with Ugandans, including the NUP leadership, but doubts they’ll be interested.
“I’ll share my information on the floor of Parliament instead,” he said, confident that the Speaker will allocate him time to discuss the lessons he learned from the US electoral system.
Mpuuga sarcastically laughed off NUP’s leadership, saying his ability to travel to the US was a slap in their face, as they had spread fake news about his visa being revoked due to the Shs500m he received under the Service Award and his support for Speaker Anita Among, who faces US and UK travel sanctions over her human rights record.
Mpuuga claimed that American policymakers value him more than Bobi Wine, NUP’s leader, and questioned why NUP hasn’t apologized for lying about his visa status.
“The dictatorship at Kavule must be hurting to see me travel freely to the US,” he said, contrary to the fake news spread by NUP’s foot soldiers.
He also asserted that NUP isn’t as important to American foreign policy as they claim, citing his interactions with US policymakers, legislators, and administration officials, where NUP wasn’t even mentioned.
Mpuuga’s experience in the US, where he traveled after the Coffee debate fracas, has led him to conclude that NUP isn’t a significant factor in American decisions about Uganda.
“The politics of Bobi Wine is about grand deception,” he said, wondering why NUP leaders would spread lies about his visa status. He believes the only truth about Kyagulanyi and fellow NUP leaders is their names, and nothing more.
It’s worth noting that NUP, led by Bobi Wine, has been a significant player in Ugandan politics since its formation in 2020. The party has gained popularity, especially among the youth, with its “People Power” movement. However, Mpuuga’s comments suggest that NUP’s influence may be overstated, at least in the eyes of American policymakers.
Mpuuga’s statements have sparked debate about NUP’s role in Ugandan politics and its relationship with the international community. As the country navigates its complex political landscape, it remains to be seen how NUP will respond to Mpuuga’s criticisms and whether they’ll take his report seriously.
One thing is certain, though – the exchange has shed light on the internal power struggles and disagreements within Uganda’s opposition parties.
In the meantime, Mpuuga’s report, whenever it’s released, will likely provide valuable insights into the US electoral system and its potential applications in Uganda. Whether NUP will take heed of his advice remains to be seen, but one thing is clear – the party has its work cut out to prove its relevance, both domestically and internationally.
