Passed by mzee Moses Nkonge Kibalama, former leader of our party. He's been very sickly. Thankful to the @NUP_Ug area leaders who always check on him and support him. Wishing him a full recovery🙏🏽

A few minutes from now, I will be at the University of Michigan African Studies Center for a fireside chat on Uganda’s struggle for democracy, human rights, and a prosperous future for all who call it home. Join us at the LSA Building, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 01:30 PM EDT. #PeoplePower ✊🏾

Dear Kyambogo comrades. Let’s make it happen tomorrow. Okello James is the name. #PeoplePowerOurPower

Today, I pause to give my brother, Joel Ssenyonyi (@JoelSsenyonyi), MP Nakawa West, his flowers for the way he has carried the responsibility of leading the Opposition in the 11th Parliament of Uganda. In a space often marked by tension and theatrics, he has modelled calm strength, discipline, and integrity. In a political environment that often rewards noise, his leadership has been steady, disciplined, and grounded in accountability; choosing substance over spectacle, and values over volume. He has led with composure, conviction, and a steady commitment to truth, even when the space for dissent has been tight. Whether one agrees with him or not, it is evident that he has brought coherence, dignity, and a sense of purpose to the role. As brethren, we celebrate every leader who chooses character over chaos, service over self‑promotion, and justice over convenience. May God continue to raise men and women who lead with courage, compassion, and conviction, and may He continue to strengthen all who stand for truth, justice, and the dignity of citizens. Dear Joel, may the Lord keep you steadfast and anchored in His calling. May He renew your strength when the work feels heavy, guard your integrity when pressures rise, and surround you with wisdom for every decision. May your leadership continue to reflect the light, truth, and peace of Christ in every space you enter. AMEN! 🙏🏽 ————————————————————— “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.” — Psalm 28:7

Our colleagues on the opposite side forget that when it rains, we all get wet. That’s the reality of problematic laws. Even those who were chanting “Aye” will be affected at some point. The day of reckoning eventually comes!

Today we were in Buwaya, Kasanje for the burial ceremony of the late Mzee George William Nyanzi, father to comrade Nyanzi Mbogo, and husband to NUP Councilor Annet Musisi. Kitalo nyo, may his soul rest in peace.

This evening at 5PM (Eastern Time), the Institute of African Studies at Columbia University in New York will be hosting us in a fireside chat with students, faculty and friends of freedom and democracy. Our conversation will focus on the status of the struggle for democracy in Uganda and other countries where it is at risk. Please join us! We'll also stream the event live on TikTok via @he_bobiwine at 12AM Ugandan time (5PM ET).

Within Unity, our strength is well pronounced. A generation united against oppression is destined to achieve redemption and freedom. A blessed revolutionary week ahead comrades! #PeoplePowerOurPower

Interacted this morning with Mr. Baliza Emmanuel, the father of Baliza William, a young man who was abducted on 10th February and has been missing since. On that day, armed operatives picked him up in a drone, which he says was full of guns, pliers, solido wires, iron bars, etc. He was asked to reveal the whereabouts of his son, or else he faces consequences. He did and was told the young man was posting anti-government content on tiktok. He has since moved everywhere looking for the son without success! #FreeUgandaNow

The @NUP_Ug Eastern Regional Head Office has been surrounded and sealed off by the police to block our meeting with elected leaders from the Region, scheduled for today. They say we need permission from the IGP to hold a meeting at our office😡 #FreeUgandaNow

Yesterday, our official flag bearer for the 22nd Kyambogo University guild presidential race, comrade Okello James was duly nominated. We wish him a successful campaign as he aspires to deliver the much deserved victory home. #PeoplePowerOurPower

To all Workers, we honour your resilience and strength, despite the numerous challenges at hand. Happy International Labour Day!

Jummah Mubarak to our Muslim brothers and sisters. Wishing you all a happy and prosperous month of May.
