Even if it means standing alone I’ll gladly do so s long as I’m standing behind this gentleman….. those of sijuiiii he’s a mole, he’s unpopular, he’s too soft… eat water #mugishamuntuforpresident2026
A few questions deserve clear answers.
Why was the will of King Rukidi III acknowledged, while King Oyo’s will appears not to be? If both were kings, shouldn’t they have equal authority? Does this mean King Oyo’s wishes could simply be disregarded, or is there something the people of Tooro have not been told?
And to those who kept asking why King Oyo kept his children away from the Omusuga—perhaps the events unfolding now provide part of the answer. The same family that has been in conflict with King Oyo is now at the centre of what is happening. To me, that is too significant to ignore.
The people of Tooro deserve transparency. We were told that “kings are born, not chosen.” If the process is actually based on selection or a vote by certain people, then this needs to be explained clearly.
Tooro deserves answers, not silence.

Why is Andrew Irumba saying this about the late King Oyo?
I have seen his posts wherein he paints the late King Oyo and his mother, Queen Best Kemigisa negatively.
What's the backstory?
That nagging pain that feels like you were family. Memories from a distance that feel like you were so close. Royalty that came with unusual humility and low profile. No drama, no harm, no noise - just human.
Throughout the ceremony, the Queen Mother repeatedly lowered her head and closed her eyes, reflecting the pain of losing a son she had watched ascend the Tooro throne as a three-year-old and reign for more than three decades.

Amidst all the unnecessary 'chaos' since okutunza kwo' Omukama Oyo, Rev. Clovis Kyalimpa has been very resourceful. He is calm, knowledgeable and proud of Tooro culture. These are the guys media houses should be running to for interviews. Not random chaps on the Streets Tooro.
STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF TOORO
Fellow Batooro, friends of Tooro and all those who mourn with us,
As we prepare to receive His Majesty the Omukama and ultimately lay our King to rest, I appeal to every Mutooro to conduct ourselves with the dignity, restraint and decorum befitting this solemn moment.
We have lost our King. We have lost a son of Tooro whose life, leadership and service carried the name of our Kingdom far beyond our borders.
At this moment, our responsibility is not to allow disagreements, speculation or competing narratives to define these final days. Our responsibility is to protect His Majesty’s memory, honour his legacy and give him the dignified farewell he deserves.
Moments like these require leadership, not posturing. They require less talking and more organising. We are all grieving and emotions are understandably high, but leadership requires us to rise above those emotions, lead by example and never lose sight of the bigger picture.
The world is watching us, but more importantly, the people of Tooro are looking to us for leadership. How we conduct ourselves during this difficult period reflects on all Batooro. Let us therefore demonstrate the values for which our people are known: dignity, respect, unity and love for our Kingdom.
I am aware that questions have been raised regarding some of the circumstances surrounding His Majesty’s time abroad and the communication around it. I wish to clarify one matter respectfully.
The information communicated to the public that His Majesty was abroad studying, and subsequently that he was well, was communicated in accordance with His Majesty’s express wishes and direction. As someone serving him, it was my responsibility to respect his wishes and protect his privacy. I did so faithfully and respectfully.
I am also confident that His Majesty acted in good faith. He was confident in his recovery and was looking forward to returning home and reuniting with his people for the 31st Empango. He did not want to cause unnecessary alarm among his people.
Other matters have also been raised. This is neither the time nor the place to debate them. They must not be allowed to create division, controversy or distract us from the enormous responsibility before us.
There will be a proper time and forum, after His Majesty has been laid to rest, to address any matters that require clarification. For now, everything else is secondary.
I therefore appeal especially to Kingdom leaders, cultural leaders, public officials, the media, commentators and everyone using social media to exercise restraint. Words spoken in moments of grief can deepen divisions that may take years to repair. Let us choose words and actions that unite the Batooro and reflect the dignity of the Kingdom.
I also appeal for privacy and respect for the Royal Family and those who were closest to His Majesty. Their grief is deeply personal, and they must be given the space to mourn without intrusion, unnecessary speculation or pressure to speak. Their privacy and dignity should be respected throughout this difficult period.
Our duty now is simple: to receive our King with honour, lay him to rest with dignity, and stand together as one people.
Future generations will remember not only that Tooro lost its King, but also how we conducted ourselves in this moment of grief. Let them remember a people who chose unity over division, service over posturing, and leadership over controversy.
Until His Majesty has been laid to rest, let us remain united and focused on giving him the peaceful and honourable farewell he deserves.
In all that we say and do, Tooro must come first.
Your Excellency @KagutaMuseveni
I believe this is the right moment to honour the pledge made to Tooro by making the King Oyo Stadium a reality.
When the Government called for free land for the stadium, His Majesty personally answered that call by offering 50 acres of his own land. He did so because he believed deeply in this project and looked forward to seeing a modern stadium built for his people.
Sadly, he did not live to witness that dream come true.
Your Excellency, completing this stadium and naming it in his honour would be a fitting and lasting tribute to a King who gave his own land to make the project possible. It would preserve his memory while creating an important sporting and development legacy for the young people of Tooro and Uganda.
I therefore humbly appeal to you to honour this pledge and make the King Oyo Stadium a reality.
It would mean a great deal to the people of Tooro and would ensure that His Majesty’s generosity, vision and love for his people live on for generations.
