“Stop Wasting Time Just Join NRM” Museveni’s Blue Eyed Girl Nabbanja Calls Upon Bobi Wine, Mathias Mpuuga & Others
Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has urged the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) to withdraw from Uganda’s presidential race, describing the party as too weak and divided to govern the country. She made the comments on Sunday during a fundraising event at St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Nyendo, Masaka City, saying the opposition is more focused on internal disputes than preparing to lead Uganda.
Nabbanja pointed to the internal conflicts and the recent split within NUP, which led to the formation of the Democratic Front (DF), as evidence of the party’s instability. “NUP knows very well that they cannot manage this country. They have already failed and even split to form DF. That alone shows their level of weakness,” she said, urging Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, to step aside from the presidential race.
The Prime Minister also addressed DF, led by former Leader of Opposition Mathias Mpuuga. She advised DF and other smaller political parties to join forces with established parties such as the Democratic Party (DP) and eventually collaborate with the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).
“I advise DF and other small parties to stop wasting time in endless wrangles. Instead, they should join NRM so that together we can serve Ugandans better,” Nabbanja said. She highlighted that NRM has the stability, strong organizational structures, and leadership experience required to manage the country and deliver meaningful services to citizens.
Nabbanja criticized opposition leaders in Masaka for allegedly claiming credit for government projects, particularly infrastructure. She cautioned residents against being misled: “Let no one deceive you. These roads are government projects, not Namayanja’s or her opposition projects. No opposition leader has built a road here.”
The Premier emphasized that service delivery should not be politicized, noting that government projects are implemented under national programs rather than as individual achievements of opposition politicians. She added that while opposition leaders may be vocal, they often lack the capacity to implement real change on the ground.
In her closing remarks, Nabbanja turned to matters of faith and community. She encouraged the congregation at St Joseph’s Catholic Church to remain hopeful, united, and supportive of each other. “Do not grow weary in doing good. With faith and determination, this church will be completed. Let us focus our hearts on the Holy Spirit and support one another,” she said, leaving the audience with a message of perseverance and unity.
