Details Emerge How M7 Named Mayiga his Potential Successor as a Reward to Buganda, Saying Muhoozi Could Enter the Mix Uhuru Kenyatta Style Later

By Stephen K Muwambi

Several months now,  a very good friend of Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi 11, Amelia Kyambadde sought an audience with His Majesty. Amelia was in company of Omutaka Nadduli Kibaale.

Kabaka granted their wish. Niceties ensued between the host and his visitors before talks kicked off in earnest. Formerly the Presidental Principal Private Secretary, the MP from Mawokota, suggested to the Kabaka that it was high time he found a way of making peace with his old buddy and President, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who helped to restore his throne.

A humble Amelia reminded Kabaka that Museveni was in the evening hours of his leadership, yet it's him and not his successors, who understands and appreciates what he (Kabaka) and Baganda did for him during his armed struggle.

When he finally spoke, Kabaka told Amelia he had completely lost contact with the President. And so, Kabaka added, there was no way he could extend an olive branch to Museveni even if he wanted to do.

By either sheer coincidence or through instructions from Amelia, Hajj Abdu Nadduli and Alhajj Moses Kigongo, after Amelia/Kabaka meet, sought an appointment with President Museveni.

Initially, the President told Nadduli and Kigongo to the face how he had long gotten sick and tired of Buganda issues. "I have always been willing to work with Mengo and my friend the Kabaka only to be frustrated by bad elements in Mengo and within the opposition Museveni told the elders."

Accordingly, Museveni told the pair, he had chosen to reach out directly to Baganda without having to go through Mengo or Kabaka agents first.

After some urging by Nadduli and Kigongo, we learnt, Museveni reconsidered his stance. Clearing his voice, he swore to his buddies that there was no tribe in Uganda that helped him much more to come to power than his Baganda friends.

Added Kaguta; "I feel indebted to Baganda and my good friend the Kabaka in particular, but some bad elements in Mengo have frustrated our ties."

It was at this juncture that Museveni revealed to his visitors that he actually wanted to leave power for a Muganda. Museveni said he had Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi (read the Vice President) in mind, but he was hesitant leaving power in the hands of another old man.

Giving reasons for his soft spot for the lawyer from Buddu (Ssekandi), Museveni borrowed from the past experience when he and Ssekandi were studying at Dar Salaam University. He recounted incidents when Ugandan students would take what they thought was a burning issue to their chairman Ssekandi for resolution, but the leader would take six months thinking about it, but at the end of the day gives a superb solution.

"Ssekandi never believed in quick fixes and that's one good quality of a good leader." Museveni lectured Nadduli and Kigongo." True to his word, Museveni is known to take time studying a problem, leading his detractors to dismiss him as inactive, but he later comes off victorious. Ask the UPC guys who called him a bandit when he took to the bush to fight them. Or Joseph Kony who thought he was invisible, but is now begging for forgiveness from a man he swore to uproot from power.

Having said this and posed for some good minutes for what he had said to sink in, Museveni then told his visitors that he wanted to reward Baganda with the Presidency, but he had still failed to find a suitable personality.

The revelation jolted Nadduli and Kigongo who changed in their seats. Seeing his visitors lost for words, Museveni broke the silence. “But, wait a minute! Whenever I receive a delegation from Mengo, behold there always comes along a young lawyer called Mayiga whose deliberations perhaps fits the desired qualities of a leader I have in mind,†Kaguta went on.

Before he however faulted his choice, saying Mayiga needed to stop dividing people along tribal lines if at all he wanted to be a leader with a national outlook.

After Kaguta's nice words, Nadduli rushed to Mengo to fix an appointment with the Kabaka to deliver the good tidings. Inside sources tell us the Kabaka readily agreed to Nadduli's meeting. It's in that meeting that two other meetings of much greater importance were arranged.

The Bulls Meet

It is our irrefutable knowledge that Kaguta met his fond friend Kabaka Mutebi. They met at Banda Palace on the outskirts of Kampala. The principals was a night marathon meeting of four straight hours.

Kabaka reciprocated his friend's nocturnal meeting with a visit at the President official residence at Entebbe. During the Entebbe State House meet, we learnt, the Mayiga issue cropped up and was discussed at length by the two principals besides other Buganda outstanding issues.

But what surprised and lifted Kabaka's spirits in equal measure at this meeting, was Museveni's query as to why Mengo was in the habit of asking for some properties while leaving out others. Before Kabaka could answer, Kaguta proceeded to remind the Kabaka that Mengo owned Muteesa House in London, and King Fahad land among other properties. He advised Kabaka to add the property on the list of properties grabbed by the late Dr Apollo Milton Obote.

We understand, it had been Mengo's feeling that it would be unfair to ask the President to return properties which Obote had sold off and which included Muteesa House since Kaguta was blameless. This is how Mengo got the morale to demand for Muteesa House and Kampala Road situate land on which stands King Fahd that had been given away to the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU).

A plan was hatched on how to return Buganda's assets and even better the Kampala and Mengo then frosty relationship. And as they say the rest is now history.

Enters Mayiga

As he bid farewell to his friend, Museveni told Kabaka to send him Mayiga. It's our irrefutable knowledge that Mayiga indeed met the son of Kaguta and the two had a pep talk on how to be a good leader. And the meet spent seven straight hours.

During the lecturers, Museveni urged Mayiga to adjust his attitude towards non-baganda leaders, but most importantly, Kaguta charmed Mayiga by impressing it upon him that he was actually a good leader with qualities that can even take the country forward.

We can safely report that following the pep-talk and the meeting with the Kabaka, the two principals agreed on Mayiga as a compromise candidate for the premiership. We are strengthened in our holding by the fact that actually Mayiga eventually clinched the big post at Mengo.

Having realized Sevo had Mayiga in mind, Hajj Nadduli and other elders and opinion leaders in Buganda embarked on advising an appointed Mayiga to embark on reaching out to the people and mobilize them for development issues.

Mayiga is developing his mobilization skills now by reaching out to baganda and non-baganda from all walks of life, wooing them to contribute towards Masiro (Tombs) reconstruction, educate their children, giving poverty, disease and illiteracy elimination skills, giving him the outlook of a national leader. And indeed, his speeches are far away from those known to be made by Mengo Premiers.
