Countrymen, Countrywomen and, especially the Bazzukulu, on Sunday 18th January, I formally received the declaration of my re-election as President of Uganda. I thank God, Maama Janet, the NRM members, our leaders, institutions, and all Ugandans who stood for peace and stability.
In this new Kisanja, our priorities are clear: safeguard peace and security, eradicate household poverty, strengthen unity, enforce discipline in governance, and support wealth creators to grow our economy. Uganda will remain peaceful, stable and focused on progress.
I thank you all and wish you a happy Liberation Day.
My Son,
There will come a time when life will test you—when the road ahead seems uncertain, when you feel alone in your struggles, when the weight of the world presses heavy on your shoulders. In those moments, remember this: you were built for resilience.
Pain will come. People will disappoint you. Doors will close. But every challenge is an opportunity to rise. Strength isn’t about never falling—it’s about standing back up, every single time. True character is forged in the fires of adversity.
Success is not measured by wealth, but by the kind of man you become. Be the man who keeps his word, who works hard when no one is watching, who treats people with kindness—not because you expect anything in return, but because integrity is the foundation of a great life.
Love deeply, but never lose yourself in the process. Choose a partner who challenges you, supports you, and brings out the best in you. And when you love, love with your whole heart—but never let anyone make you forget your worth.
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that diminishes you. Never beg for acceptance, never compromise your values, and never shrink yourself to fit someone else's idea of who you should be. Stand tall in who you are.
And above all, remember this: you are enough. You don’t need to prove your worth to the world. Just be a man of honor, of discipline, of kindness, and the right things will find you.
I am proud of you, today and always.
With all my love,
Dad
Congratulations, Comrade @EliasNalukoola! The people have spoken, and their will has prevailed over guns! Your hard-fought victory is a testament to the resilience and power of the people when they stand firm for what is right! As we have always said, it is very possible to overwhelm the dictator in an election no matter what stops he pulls to rig it.
This win is not just yours—it belongs to all those who refuse to be silenced; the millions who refuse to stop believing in the possibility of a new, better and brighter Uganda! The struggle continues!
THANK YOU PEOPLE OF KAWEMPE NORTH. PEOPLE POWER IS INDEED STRONGER THAN THE PEOPLE IN POWER.

Some people often tell us to ignore Museveni's brutal son's tweets as mere rumblings of a drunkard. The difference is that Museveni's son is the head of our military- however illegally he was gifted that position by his father. He has the capacity to follow through with these threats and he has started already. The abductions, torture and raidings of this week are evidence of what he is capable of. As we continue to mobilise and urge our people to push back against these criminals, THE WORLD MUST NOT IGNORE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN UGANDA. The rogue regime in its late evening, has gone completely mad.

Meanwhile, this is the situation at the National Unity Platform Headquarters ahead of our prayers and joint press conference. Heavily armed operatives from the Joint Anti-Terrorism Taskforce (JATT) have raided with drones! WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATED.
this is why despot museveni and brute muhoozi kainerugaba have abducted chairman fred nyanzi, the head of mobilization task force [kunga uganda] in @nup_ug. #freefrednyanzi
Our comrade and Head of Mobilisation for @NUP_Ug comrade Nyanzi Fred Ssentamu has been abducted by heavily armed men and taken away in a drone to an unknown destination! He has been abducted on gunpoint from Kubbiri Roundabout. The criminal regime is on rampage, BUT WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATED.
OUR NEW YEAR MESSAGE, DELIVERED TODAY AT THE National Unity Platform HEADQUARTERS:
Greetings to you, countrywomen and men, ladies and gentlemen! Happy new year!
I welcome all of you to this year 2025 and once again express condolences to our friends who did not make it to this year, notably our Deputy President for Western Region, whom we lost last year. May their souls rest in peace!
We thank God that despite all challenges, we are still here and still able to breathe. It is not because our enemies wished it to be - there are many who have been working to see us off the surface of the earth, but it is because of God that we can still gather together. For this we are grateful. For this we say God is good. We say Alhamdulilah.
So comrades and friends, I welcome you to this year which is a very critical year in our revolutionary cause. Many have called it just an election year, but I call it a revolutionary year. I call it a year of yet another opportunity to redeem ourselves and our nation from four decades of slavery. Four decades of oppression, suppression and exploitation!
Throughout the history of our nation, we have been presented with different opportunities at different times and turns. We have been presented with opportunities to build a fair, just and prosperous nation. Unfortunately, we have missed most of those opportunities, which have put us in this vicious cycle of oppression.
The first opportunity was presented to us at independence in 1962. Unfortunately, those who took over from the colonialists immediately turned into oppressors themselves. Only four years after independence, our nation disintegrated into strife and missed that opportunity.
In 1971 when Idi Amin took over power, there was great jubilation everywhere. A few years down the road, there was wailing. Another missed opportunity!
In March 1979, our people gathered in Tanzania for the Moshi conference, determined to establish a new consensus. They formed the UNLF with the promise of uniting our nation and setting it on a path for freedom and development. Indeed, after the fall of Idi Amin, there was yet another period of jubilation in Uganda and beyond. But that jubilation was short lived.
Government after government bombed themselves into power until 1980 and our people continued to suffer and cry. Another missed opportunity.
In 1981 when Milton Obote returned to power, there was hope that perhaps the years of misery would come to an end. But soon after, Museveni and his group went to the bush protesting what they called the rigging of that election. Museveni and his group killed, maimed and exiled our people in hundreds of thousands. Indeed, almost a million people lost their lives. Another missed opportunity!
But because Museveni had claimed to be fighting for democracy and the rule of law, our people withstood the pain and suffering in the hope that when victory is won, they would live better lives. Indeed, when he finally took over power, there was celebration. The streets of Kampala burst into dancing and song. 40 years later, Museveni is still here and has exceeded all the atrocities committed by all previous governments. Not just a lost opportunity, but an opportunity stolen from the people of Uganda.
I have gone through this history, to emphasise the various points at which we, the people of Uganda, have missed the opportunity to build a nation which our grandfathers and grandmothers dreamt about. A nation at peace with itself. A nation which would offer equal opportunities for all citizens.
In the four decades of the Museveni rule, there have been several other opportunities presented to we, the people of Uganda - just like the case was with the regimes before him. Every election, every protest, every contestation under Museveni has presented us an opportunity for redemption, and yet we continue to live under the heavy load of oppression.

The President reiterates that his former Deputy President through his Personal Assistant dragged the party leadership to court seeking to have him banned from elective politics for ten years. He says the court matter is what has stalled the process of having the party constitution gazetted.
On the threatening tweets by the CDF abusing the constitution by indulging in partisan politics as a serving army officer, and threatening to ‘behead him’ the President says that he does not take the threats lightly and he will not succumb to intimidation of any form. “When you have God by your side, no human being can intimidate you,”-@HEBobiwine says.

Congratulations to Prophet Kakande and his church on the construction of a magnificent worship centre. The freedom of worship was a complex matter perpetrated by politics of sectarianism based on religion and tribe, and this had affected the broader national unity, wealth, and development. We rejected all that.
In the NRM, we didn’t concern ourselves with which religion, tribe, or race you belonged to. When we came into power, we made it clear that it was not the government's role to judge which religion was right or wrong. That responsibility belongs to God, not to the government.
I, therefore, congratulate them once again and wish them good Luck!

Reaching out to other entrepreneurs and small biz owners in Uganda to benchmark this feeling of despair am having. I’ve been wondering whether it’s me or not but ALL businesses in the country are suffering. Downtown businesses that were turning over 8-10m daily can barely do 500k
