The Senior Presidential Advisor on edia, John Nagenda says popular youthful politician Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine needs more two decades to be fit to occupy the country’s top office.
Nagenda says all those tipped to replace President Museveni have a weak link that takes away certain qualities from them to be good leaders.
“Mugisha Muntu was a reasonable leader of the army and he is well spoken but I would not expect him to make a good leader. Dr. Kizza Besigye has stood four times, losing very easily every time and bleating that he was cheated. I believe Bobi Wine is a good singer but to become president maybe in 20 years if he starts now,” Nagenda said while appearing on NBS Television’s Morning Breeze programme on Monday.
Nagenda added Bobi Wine’s People Power, despite taming various youths in urban areas, will need the majority that the National Resistance Movement (NRM) still commands in rural areas to win elections.
On the Museveni succession plan, Nagenda has tipped Vice President Sekandi fill the top office at least five years adding that no one other than from within NRM can replace Museveni.
“I would not mind Edward Sekandi taking power for five years because he would listen to Museveni. He is a Muganda, a Catholic and he will have brought a new face to the presidency. I think he would do a good job,” Nagenda posits.
