Arua
The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party President, Maj Gen Mugisha Muntu, has said President Museveni needs just a slight push now out of power.
“Museveni is already collapsing in his own party with the change of their constitution and so we only need to push him a little bit and he will be out of power,” Gen Muntu said.
The FDC leader was addressing a rally at Arua Hill grounds at the weekend. He had just concluded a meeting with FDC’s leaders in the region. “You people of Arua and other parts of West Nile should join us to gain strength to capture power in order to salvage this country,” he said.
Gen Muntu said intrigue and infighting within the NRM party have made it weak and the country now needs a strong Opposition to oust the President. He said FDC supporters should not only look at a leader to be their flag bearer but one who can unite, strengthen and lead the party in the right direction.
Strong candidate needed
But one of the locals who attended the rally at Arua hill, Ms Judith Avako, said there was need for the Opposition to front a popular candidate if their quest for power is to be realised. “I don’t see the reason why we should continue to suffer from unemployment, poor roads and health centres that are ill-equipped yet we pay taxes to this government,” Ms Avako said.
Earlier, Gen Muntu said there was need to salvage the country from unemployment of especially youths, nepotism and corruption that has dogged the country.
