President Museveni
The Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) has pledged to ensure that NRM’s Yoweri Museveni garners 100% of votes in Greater Kigezi.
Grace Mugabirwe Mutebile was addressing a meeting of Bafumbira youth in Kampala on Sunday when she said that “Museveni has the bar of presidency so high.”
Mugabirwe is the PLU Coordinaor for Greater Kigezi.
“PLU is not a political party,” she said, explaining the reason for backing Museveni. “We are a civic organization.”
“We are beginning to come to ground to explain these things. He (Museveni) has been a wonderful president for 40 years. NRM is a party that ensures that everybody is a beneficiary of this government,” said Mugabirwe.
She added: We want Museveni to get 80% and above in Greater Kigezi so that we continue protecting the gains.”
Mugabirwe revealed that in the future, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba can be available to further protect the gains.
“It is you (the youth) that can protect the future of this country. Love your country,” she added.
The same event coincided with the launch of Bafumbira Youth Community Development SACCO. She contributed Shs 1 million towards the SACCO.
“This is not government money. This is our money. We are just giving back to you, the youth,” said Mugabirwe.
She appealed to the youth to avoid non-economic activities.
“With this sacco, borrow the money so that it can benefit you. If government money comes, it finds you in the sacco. People without money are the ones who are usually tempted to go to the streets to throw stones. “Get involved in things that add value to yourself,” said Mugabirwe.
She urged the Bafumbira youth in Kampala to return to Greater Kigezi and vote for Museveni in the 2026 general polls.
“Participate in the coming elections. Don’t remain in Kampala; go back home and vote,” she said.
The PLU team is rallying behind Museveni under its UMOJA WETU campaign.
Fortunate Habyara, the Bufumbira North MP candidate, urged the youth to use the SACCO to save, develop themselves, and join the money economy.
Habyara gave Mugabirwe a message to deliver to Gen. Kainerugaba.
“Assure him (CDF) that we are rallying behind him to strengthen the Movement as we protect the gains,” said Habyara. Habyara contributed Shs 500,000 to enhance the SACCO.
Niyoonzima Venat, the SACCO Chairman, pledged to put money donated to the SACCO to good use.
