The president of NUP has deliberately continued to mislead the young people sometimes leading them into prison while others lose their lives.
I watched in the news on Thursday evening with awe when he encouraged his followers and supporters to continue wearing military uniforms.
In his view, the councilor from Masaka who went to see the President at state house with full NUP attire wasn’t questioned and therefore that gives him backing that wearing military uniform was accepted.
Images of youth wearing UPDF ranks have been circulating on Internet, this is added on singing the NRA liberation songs during their NUP meetings.
The NUP party leaders have been daring the armed forces from the time of its inception. I think admiring the army isn’t bad however there are procedures one must follow to join the national army and be at liberty to enjoy all those privileges like wearing military uniform etc.
I don’t think there’s any country in the world that will just watch on when its national army is being disrespected.
If the young people that Bobi Wine leads are interested in joining the army, they should be guided on the procedure of which they can follow to get what they want.
The UPDF uniform however isn’t for posing and creating impressions. It is for sacrifice and patriotism. It is for going on war front to defend Uganda and it’s interests.
We’ve so many young people languishing in prisons some of whom the new minister of youth was pleading to be released, the crimes they’ve committed are not crimes which they planned as individuals and went on to commit them, they were misled by their leaders who are now enjoying life outside prison.
When you’re a political candidate or leader there’s a huge group of people that you command.
These people always follow your instructions and when they’ve genuine support they obey all the instructions you give to them.
This means that if a candidate wakes up and encourages his people to attack a rival camp it will be done and that’s how we usually have blood shed during campaigns and elections because some candidates turn campaigns into real war especially when they sense defeat.
Bobi Wine publicly advised his followers to keep wearing military uniform, it appears he enjoys seeing his supporters being arrested and charged in court, no wonder he continues doing his activities normally as if nothing has happened, when his followers are in prison and their families suffering.
Government leaders have always advised the NUP supporters and followers that their leader is misleading them and continuously taking advantage of their radicalism to achieve his selfish interests.
Some people have understood and thereby disembarking, while others think that the government is playing politics and stopping them from following what they love.
However, a person whose vision is to lead you into government cannot do things that lead you into prison or losing your life. In any case he will be trying hard to make all of you safer so that you succeed together and enjoy fruits of your struggle.
Obviously death happens but it shouldn’t be initiated by leaders it should happen when it’s unavoidable and unplanned.
How many young people should die and how many youth should be in prison before NUP and it’s leaders start giving the right information to it’s followers? I thought the numbers should have shown the ones left that playing with one’s life is uncalled for.
What does wearing military attire add o
