Senior Presidential advisor on media, John Nagenda has said that as of now he can hardly see any opposition figure that can rightfully replace President Yoweri Museveni. Nagenda claims that great leaders are very few and replacing Museveni will be catastrophic.
With Museveni having no equivalent according to Nagenda, he said, “I’ve given the president one more term starting with 2021 and then have a look again. It isn’t very easy to get a very good leader. At the moment, he is working well.”
On exactly what makes Museveni special, Nagenda said he has never seen anybody who cares about Uganda the way he does.
“He (Museveni) has got a very high opinion of himself but when I look at the people running to take over, some of them can’t run a country,” he said. He stated that the older Museveni gets, the more perfect he executes his duties.
However, Nagenda believes Bobi Wine also has something to offer but needs more 20 years to concretely establish himself. He said for now the youthful politician is overstretching his abilities.
“When I meet Bobi Wine, I’d advise him not to exaggerate his importance which he does. He should be his own man because going to other people is dangerous,” he said.
