Over 200 youths in Butaleja, to quit NUP for NRM

By Ambrose Wanagoli

Butaleja: The leaders of National unity platform in Nawanjofu sub county, Butaleja district, have today visited the office of RDC, demanding for an assurance of good pasture, as they broke the news of defecting from the young National Unity Platform(NUP), to NRM.

The energetic men and women, led by Labana Hamba, told the representatives of President Museveni in Butaleja, that they form a number of over 200; and they boasted that they hardened the elections of 2021, in Nawanjofu sub county.

The candidates for defection, further disclosed that they have missed a lot as the National Unity Platform party seems a party for gamblers.

Geoffrey Mutiwa, the MP for Bunyole West, also born in Nawanjofu sub county, admitted that Laban Hamba, Ayub Mwanjusi, and several others gave NRM party, hard time in the 2021 elections.

He urged the tired NUP members to seriously defect, for the good of Nawanjofu sub county, and peace.

According to Mutiwa, the candidates for defection, have severally pronounced their interest of changing the sides in politics, but wondered why they don’t mean it, despite having squeezed some money from the MP, as he welcomed their ideas.

Godfrey Nasuga Musulemi, the assistant RDC for Butaleja district, who welcomed the disgruntled youths, promised to lead them into fruits, including involving them into Pdm, Emyooga and other government programs.

Nasuga, said that their decision is timely because the NRM, still needs the energetic men and women to push the party to another level.

The commissioner, promised to convince more, into NRM, and also stated that Nawanjofu sub county was very hard for NRM, with the vibration of People Power slogan then.

Mr. Nasuga, further argued that many people in Butaleja, were politically defiled by band wagon, wave and propaganda in 2021.
