Following the recently concluded NRM primaries for the members of parliament, many prominent legislators were heavily trounced for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Basing on this background, the four-time presidential candidate, Rtd. Col Dr Kizza Besigye said he has been telling them that President Museveni is using them but they never listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said Museveni will use anyone to meet his goals and dumps them as soon as he sees they have become a problem to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besigye said that there was no way President Museveni would go into general elections with people whom he used to remove the age limit because the public had marked them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe closer you are to Mr Museveni, the more you are hated by the people in Uganda; and even inside NRM,\u201d he said during a live Facebook session over the weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why Ministers are now endangered species. But it was also bad news too for those who were very active in championing the change in the constitution. That\u2019s why the main culprit Magyezi ran away before he was humiliated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besigye cautioned the opposition to borrow a leaf from what happened in the NRM elections because the violence, vote rigging and bribery might triple in the forthcoming general elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
