Col. Kizza Besigye, an experienced war fighter has revealed that keeping one position in a battlefield exposes you to the enemy.
And therefore, the enemy should never know what the fighter’s plan is, and that is why he has decided to bow out of 2021 elections.
Kizza Besigye on Wednesday addressed FDC diehards who during his speech, kept emotionally inviting him to announce that he will stand for President.
“Ffe twagala ggwe,” loosely translated as “we want only you.” The radical supporters of Besigye maintained as he emotionally explained why the party had decided to adopt to approaches; A and B.
Plan A is FDC will participate in an election for the first time without Kizza Besigye.
Plan B is the activism led by People’s Government, a sort of militia outfit of the mainstream FDC will exert more pressure on the regime.
People’s Government is led by Kizza Besigye.
“Although an election doesn’t lead us to government, it surely adds something to us,” Besigye told his supporters at Najjanankumbi.
The opposition heavyweight announced two years ago that he wouldn’t participate in a sham election, maintaining that the contest organized by the regime can lead FDC nowhere.
The FDC leadership didn’t take his words seriously until recently when Besigye rejected calls to challenge Museveni, prompting the three party stalwarts; president Patrick Amuriat, secretary general Hon Nandala Mafabi and national council chairman Waswa Birigwa to pick nominations forms to fight for FDC flag.
Flagging off the activity at Najjanankumbi, the FDC official head offices, Besigye explained to vividly impatient gathering why it is necessary for him not to stand for President.
He remarked the achievements of four contests he engaged in and why it is time to layback and strategize afresh.
“What you must know is that I will never quit the struggle until we succeed in removing Mr Museveni and his rogue government,” he said.
Besigye added that: “I have no other job. Every time I wake up I plan on how to remove this thing (the junta).”
Besigye, a personal doctor to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni broke ranks with NRM in 1999, accusing his former boss of losing track.
He then announced that he would challenge Museveni in 2001, in an election considered to be most violent.
Besigye further contested three times but lost.
In 2016, Besigye had refused to stand until the party pushed him.
Besigye today told the supporter that he was not at liberty to say what could have propelled him to participate in the 2016 polls but insisted that had he not, FDC would slip into danger.
