I Don’t Want To Kill My Lovely People — Museveni

1 Mins read

NRM Presidential Candidate, Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni has lashed out at some selfish leaders who are exposing innocent people to the risk of the deadly Coronavirus by addressing open mass rallies.

The President, who started-off his address by extensively talking about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, was addressing NRM leaders drawn from Greater Nebbi including the districts of Nebbi, Zombo, Pakwach, Obongi and Madi-Okollo.

“In this campaign, I have refused to carelessly kill my people by calling them into mass rallies, not that I can’t meet them even along the way; for me am well-protected by wearing a specialized surgical mask N95 plus a face-shield,” he said.

“For them they are not protected like me, some of them don’t have masks, so why would I decide to kill my own people on account of votes?” Museveni wondered

 He further called upon NRM leaders and other candidates who mind about the lives of Ugandans to desist from organising crowds.

“If I gather crowds and let the people get infected and die, what sort of leader would I be? Instead of being a leader, I would be a curse!” he said.

Museveni, who underscored the advantage of scientific campaigns, emphasised that campaign is not all about crowds but the message.
