On Sunday, Museveni organized quick prayers to celebrate and thank God for his re-election victory. The thanksgiving was held at his village home in Rwakitura where all religious groups were represented.
NRM bosses were also there-Anita Among, Moses Kigongo, Richard Todwong, VP Alupo Jessica and PM Robinah Nabbanja etc.
Led by born again’s bishop Joshua Lwere, the religious leaders thanked God for the victory and prayed upon God to make Museveni live for an eternity without ever dying.
Lwere, who is a Muganda like Robert Kyagulanyi, said the opposition keeps losing elections because they don’t put God first like Museveni does.
Anita Among, Alupo and Todwong said Museveni keeps winning because he has a very prayerful wife in Janet Kataha. Kigongo thanked Kyagulanyi for putting up such a weak challenge which made easy for Museveni to win.
Museveni said that the 72% victory he registered shows that the NRM is back to its very revolutionary early days when it was very popular.
He said as of 1996 Ugandans loved him and the NRM very much to the extent that PK Semogerere who stood against him in 1996 was stoned and chased away by ordinary Ugandans wherever he went to campaign because they saw him as a spoiler.
Museveni said as of that time Ugandans liked NRM for uniting the country, bringing peace and for putting in place a disciplined army full of soldiers who were as harmless as Catholic nuns. He said it was unacceptable for the army to engage in acts of brutality and beating up civilians.
He said zero tolerance to corruption and land grabbing was another reason why Ugandans loved NRM a lot in those years. He promised to fight corruption and be tough on lousy government officials in the new term which begins in May.
Museveni also told a story of how he spent the whole of Wednesday 14th Jan night sleepless at Nakasero state house where he secretly met with officials from NUP party based at Kavule who told him about all the mischief Muwanga Kivumbi and his boss Robert Kyagulanyi were plotting in case NRM candidates won elections.
Saying the NUP insiders gave him such shocking info, Museveni said that at some point he felt scared at the level of violence that was being planned. Saying NUP and Kavule had totally been infiltrated, Museveni said there are no secret plans of Kyagulanyi whose details he doesn’t know already.
He said the foot soldiers and Kavule leaders he spent the whole Wednesday night meeting and discussing with had told him on how the two NUP leaders had bought pangas and hammers and trained hundreds of NUP youths to use them against NRM supporters in every part of Buganda where a NUP candidate lost. The target would be NRM supporters in that constituency.
The president said the violence that Muwanga Kivumbi’s gangs unleashed in Butambala on the night of voting day is exactly what had been planned to be replicated in every constituency except that their plan was nipped in the bud after the president meeting with the ring leaders at the Nakasero state house throughout the night of Wednesday.
Museveni confirmed that in Butambala, 7 members of what he called Muwanga Kivumbi’s gang were shot dead by the security forces as they carried pangas and hammers trying to kill NRM supporters protesting the defeat of the NUP vice president. Museveni said that the Muwanga/Kyagulanyi faction in NUP belongs to what he called the “old Besigye group.”
Fortunately, he said there are many well intentioned good people in the opposition who he said can’t allow the anarchy of Kyagulanyi and Kivumbi.
He called the two leaders traitors who will be crashed very soon if they don’t abandon their treacherous ways of serving foreign interests of imperialists who don’t wish Uganda well. He said there was a lot of dirty money from foreign groups including homosexuals, which the Kyagulanyi group intended to use to bribe voters with 10k per vote.
