Big Eye narrated how strong the president is giving hope to Ugandans that he is still in position to lead this country for many years.
He praised the energy and the stamina that was exhibited by the president during the walk. He urged Ugandans to support Museveni’s presidential seat come 2021 general elections.
“We have seen so many things and I will put all of them in one statement, but please Ugandans Lets calm down, the man is still strong, the man is steady,” he said. He also said president has walked 195km without getting tired.
“I have seen so many youths who have not even completed the journey, they have not completed the trek but the man has completed and he is not sick, he is still steady,” he said.
