Former vice-president Prof. Gilbert Bukenya has said people have been saying that he betrayed them but that he will follow the right path – and support President Yoweri Museveni.
“Those who feel bad about my decision should go and kill themselves,” he said Friday.
This was at his hotel, Kingdom of Katomi Resort Hotel, in Entebbe where he hosted Museveni and a large group of his supporters.
“For Norbert Mao [DP president] who said I was bewitched, it is up to him, but for me, I am with Museveni. Am I mad to support Museveni? If no, then why are people bothered?” he said.
At the same function, President Museveni welcomed all the people “Bukenya had taken away from NRM”, emphasizing that leadership was a sacrifice.
“I don’t know why people are on my case to leave power as if they are the ones who brought me,” said Museveni.
“People such as Betty Nambooze [Mukono municipality MP] say I want to steal the Buganda land, not knowing that I am the one fighting for their land.”
The President said it was good Bukenya saw the light and realized that he was dealing with Kizza Besigye’s people.
He said former prime minister Amama Mbabazi did not do anything developmental in NRM.
