United Forces Of Change!! Besigye – Bobi Wine & Lukwago To Unite Against Museveni – Hidden Plan Leaks
Ssalongo Erias Lukwago, the recently named interim president of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in Besigye’s Katonga camp, has pledged to step up his fight for change during the six months that have been allotted to him.His expansive goal includes ending the long-standing reign of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The election of Lukwago to the FDC’s interim presidency took place during a contentious Extra-Ordinary Delegates Conference that Wasswa Birigwa, the party’s national chairwoman, called on Tuesday at Dr. Kizza Besigye’s offices on Katonga Road.The previous president, Patrick Amuriat Oboi, was suspended and succeeded by the tenacious Lukwago.
The conference also agreed to look into claims that Amuriat received large quantities of money from President Museveni’s administration, money that was allegedly used to support his campaigns in 2021.The investigation broadened as party treasurer Geoffrey Ekanya and secretary general Nathan Nandala Mafabi were now under investigation for similar claims.
Notably, a report by the FDC party elders committee, led by Dr. Frank Nabwiso, cleared the suspects earlier this year. Dr. Besigye and his friends, however, disregarded the report.Lukwago wasted no time in asserting his intentions, declaring his commitment to forging alliances with other forces of change. The goal: the overthrow of Museveni’s government before 2026.
Sources within Besigye’s camp revealed that they eagerly await National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu’s response to their proposal for a shift in political strategy.Besigye’s team advocates a joint effort with Bobi Wine, advocating a return to defiance campaigns, including impactful demonstrations targeting Museveni’s leadership, particularly regarding the economic crisis.
They argue that the political climate is ripe, with a disillusioned populace ready for protest.Yet, logistical challenges persist as Bobi Wine embarks on an extensive international political tour, traversing Canada, the United States, and South Africa. His mission: political consultations and spirited music shows.
Notably, attendance at his shows commands a price tag ranging from $300 to $500, with tables fetching between $1500 and $2000.Bobi Wine’s political assistant emphasized that this international tour serves as a platform for restructuring the political struggle against Museveni.
The engagement with the diaspora holds particular significance, as they play a pivotal role, both politically and financially.Upon Bobi Wine’s return, the NUP is set to release guidelines for the second phase of their tours.
Wakiso district woman Member of Parliament, Hon Betty Naluyima, affirmed the success of the countrywide tour, stating that they have effectively galvanized their supporters. They intend to compile evidence of alleged tribalism and nepotism within the government.
