“Ssekikubo You Are Disrespecting Me By Not Coming Back To Carry My briefcase, You Were & Will Always Be My Butler” Gen Muhoozi Fumes

Uganda’s political landscape is once again under the spotlight following a provocative tweet from General Muhoozi Kainerugaba — senior presidential advisor and son of President Yoweri Museveni. In a blunt and unexpected message posted on Twitter, Gen Muhoozi declared:
“Ssekikubo, you are disrespecting me by not coming back to carry my briefcase. You were and will ALWAYS be my butler.”

The tweet quickly ignited backlash online and stirred waves across political circles, leaving many Ugandans stunned and speculating.

The target of the remark, Theodore Ssekikubo, is the Member of Parliament for Lwemiyaga County. Known for his outspoken and independent stance, even when it puts him at odds with the government, Ssekikubo is no stranger to controversy. Still, being called a “butler” — a term loaded with condescension — has been widely perceived as a deliberate insult.

To many, this wasn’t just social media banter. It looked like a public attempt to humiliate a sitting MP. Ssekikubo, a long-serving legislator with a reputation for standing his ground, is unlikely to take such a remark lightly — nor are his supporters.

The tweet has raised several questions: What prompted the outburst? Is this a personal vendetta? Or does it reflect deeper cracks within the ruling elite? Some observers worry about the tone and implications of such a statement coming from someone with military influence and rumored presidential ambitions.

As of now, Ssekikubo has not responded publicly. But many are watching closely to see whether he will address the comment directly or let public reaction do the talking.

One thing is certain — the tweet has added fuel to an already tense political atmosphere. Whether it signals a personal rift, political maneuvering, or online provocation, Gen Muhoozi’s words have stirred the pot — and the ripple effects are just beginning.
