In a significant show of support for President Museveni’s re-election bid for 2026, the Office of the National Chairman Manager, SPA/PA Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, energized a large gathering in the Bunyoro Region on Friday, April 26, 2024.
At an event held at Bweyale Church of Uganda Primary School Grounds in Bweyale Town Council, Kiryandongo District, Hajjat Namyalo donated hundreds of wealth creation tools to “Jajja Museveni’s Bazzukulu,” a term affectionately used for the youth supporters of the president.
The donation event, which drew tens of thousands of attendees, included a variety of tools aimed at boosting local entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency. Among the items distributed were hoes, sprayers, carpentry and tailoring machines, popcorn machines, charcoal stoves, salon dryers, shaving machines, maize seeds, fertilizers, welding machines, grinding machines, and deep fryers.
While addressing the crowd, Hajjat Namyalo underscored the urgent need for improved infrastructure within the region. She encouraged the citizens to actively demand better roads, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions from their local leaders, emphasizing that these enhancements are crucial for the community’s overall advancement and well-being.
“It’s your constitutional rights to demand for good roads, good schools, health care facilities to live a better life,” she said.
Additionally, the ONC Boss noted that the empowerment tools delivered were not for certain political party members but for all Ugandans irrespective of their political affiliations and ideologies.
“We have not come here for politics, we have come here for self-empowerment and developing our livelihoods as Ugandans not as NRM.”
Ms Namyalo further pledged support for farmers and emphasized the importance of skill development among youth.
“We are here for the first time and it’s not the last, we shall come back and empower the farmers and the mothers to help them eradicate poverty,” she declared, stressing the need for empowerment programs to uplift the community.
At the same event, Namyalo also confirmed that President Museveni is here to stay and will again appear on the ballot in 2026 as an advocate of youth empowerment.
Meanwhile, Kiryandongo leaders led by RDC Mr Dan Muganga and the LC5 Chairperson, Ms Aliguma Edith Adyeeri hailed SPA Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo for considering the youths of Kiryandongo and choosing to empower them towards a journey of self-employment and improved standard of living.
Ms Aliguma in particular implored the beneficiaries to use the tools received optimally for their benefit and to the development of their communities.
“The empowerment tools you have delivered today will fit this generation of youths because we have already trained them and they know how to use the tools you have delivered” Said Ms Aliguma.
“We are happy to have you here to deliver these empowering tools and I hope they are going to change the lives and earnings of these youths,” said Muganga.
He also prayed for unity among different NRM factions to remain United to win the 2026 general elections
“Let’s not fight in our house, if any comes to you welcome him, whether from PLU, NRM Secretariat or any other faction, wecome them because we are one.
At the same event, NRM welcomed over 50 members of the National Unity Platform crossed to the ruling National party, and SPA Namyalo warmly welcomed these alongside the district NRM leaders and ONC Coordinators.
Richard Ochira, the chairperson of the yellow team who mobilized the youths to cross to the NRM said the new converts have chosen the right home.
The event climaxed with electric performances from Ugandan rapper and musician Gravity Omutujju, and later Bazzukulu enjoyed sumptuous meals organized by the ONC team in the area.
