Earlier today, I presided over the launch of the @NUP_Ug Party Structure Formation Roadmap and the commencement of our countrywide membership registration drive. This was at the conclusion of a two-day retreat we organised to re-train our Constituency Registrars, District Focal Persons and Sub-regional Focal Persons. In my communication, I urged the Registrars to perform their role with courage, diligence, and fairness; and to avoid infighting by always putting the interests of the People ahead of their personal interests. I reminded them that just like NUP is the political wing of the People Power movement, they are the Organizing Wing of NUP. This means they have the unenviable task of harnessing the massive support for change countrywide into a potent force that will ultimately take dictator Museveni out of power and set the stage for building a new Uganda where freedom and opportunity abound. Grateful to @FNF_Africa for making this event possible. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners
For all the personal sacrifices you had to give in the struggle for a free Uganda and for the moral leadership and inspiration, we celebrate you Dr @kizzabesigye1. Happy birthday sir. https://t.co/OLeJMQLXCN
At our headquarters today, we welcomed into @NUP_Ug hundreds of new members coming from the four regions of Uganda. In my message to them, I reminded the new members that they have joined not just another political party but, rather, a movement on a mission to freedom. This is a REVOLUTION. I also used the opportunity to emphasize that the problems prevailing in Uganda today including those of political prisoners and the unfair taxation system are all a result of the bad governance perpetuated by dictator Museveni’s long stay in power. That is why our priority first and foremost must be on ridding our nation of the dictatorship in order to establish a free, prosperous and democratic country. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners
If anything has never spoken to your conscience, let the courage of political prisoner comrade Sanya Muhydin Kakooza speak to you. WE SHALL OVERCOME! https://t.co/ip9qNY8Ddj
Today, we marked the 4th anniversary since comrade Ritah Nabukenya was martyred by police with a memorial service held in Kateera-Kiboga where she was buried. That fateful 24th of February 2020, Ritah was pursued and knocked dead by a police patrol vehicle Reg. No. UP 4841 as she travelled to attend a consultative meeting we had organised ahead of our 2021 presidential candidature. She left behind two young children whom we continue to support with other well-wishers. We still demand accountability for Ritah's death, and that the officers responsible for it be brought to justice. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners
Very delighted today, to host and spend some quality time with several comrades who have devoted their lives to the struggle for a free Uganda. Although most of them do not aspire for or hold any elective positions, they spend each day striving for a better country by engaging in different activities. While appreciating them for their commitment, I encouraged them to remain hopeful, resting assured that the eventual victory of the people of Uganda is certain. #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersinUganda
Yesterday, we had a constructive meeting with members of the Executive Committee of the National Unity Platform's Chapter in Netherlands during which we discussed matters of importance to the struggle for freedom back home. Later on, we met and broke fast with the wider community of Ugandan muslims who stay in Netherlands.
