Jakana Nadduli, the son of Hajj Abdul Nadduli has blasted President Museveni when he was hosted on Top radio yesterday evening.
The son to NRM former Minister Hajj Abdu Nadduli has accused President Museveni of dictatorship and failure to actualize the ‘Ten-point program’ which NRM had promised to Ugandans following the revolutionary guerrilla warfare in the jungles of Luwero.
Jakana Nadduli declared that if Dr Tanga Odoi, the NRM Electoral Chairman does not denounce the results in which Jakana says Saida Bumba stole his victory, then he will contest as an independent candidate for MP Nakaseke Central in the forthcoming elections.
Nadduli claimed the President who has been in power long before the Berlin Wall fell is doing exactly what they were fighting against in the early 1980s and that he would not sit back seeing the party’s core values being changed in favour of a few people.
“The opposition has nothing to do with the collapse of NRM, no, in fact, these young boys are playing their own politics like how we were in the 1980s, but what made us win the war was because of the disorganisation in Obote’s camps and this is what am seeing right now in our party and the recent primaries were a good example for us to learn from. The good thing I have always been speaking about how our leaders in the party have left the original values we had,” he said.
Hajji Nadduli, a senior presidential advisor suggested that the NRM chairman, needs to look and see where they have gone wrong when it’s still early by restoring to the original values.
“During Obote’s reign, we witnessed people from other regions coming here to represent us in Parliament, it’s the same thing we see here and people come from nowhere that I want to be a Member of Parliament here in the Central and the leader is keeping silent, this is going to cause a problem. The party has given full mandate to one person which is wrong also, he can’t be the only person to solve the whole problems of the party and yet he is the same person commanding who should contest where and how.”
Nadduli whose son Jakana Sulaiman Nadduli was defeated by Syda Bbumba in the party primaries for Nakaseke Central parliamentary seat alleges, that if President Museveni does not deal with the mafias that have penetrated the party, he will end up being eaten.
“We have let many dangerous people into the party leadership including the so-called mafias, for example in my constituency Syda had moved away with the voter register that is why maybe Museveni had to make that late announcement but also she had already gained other state machinery from those big wigs in the party which helped her to win by cheating, this is dangerous to the growth of our party.”
Nadduli who recently castigated President Museveni’s younger brother, Gen. Salim Saleh, accusing him of aiding election rigging in favour of veteran politician Syda Bbumba for Nakaseke Central Parliamentary NRM flag vowed that if Dr Tanga Odoi, the chairman NRM Electoral Commission goes ahead and endorses the victory of Bbumba, his son will come as an independent in the general election.
