Former Vice President Gilbert Bukenya has finally erupted. Posting on the Senior Citizens’ Forum a short while ago, Bukenya says Museveni should forgive Bobi Wine just like he forgave Col Kizza Besigye in May 2011 when his crowd stoned visiting heads of State along Entebbe Road after the witnessed Museveni’s 2011 swearing in ceremony at Kololo. Bukenya recalls how Museveni ignored his advice to crack the whip on Besigye, something the medicine professor says proved how magnanimous Museveni can be towards political adversaries.
Below is the reproduction of Bukenya’s post which he says had to be directed to the H/E through social media since he no longer any other way to directly reach out to the man he proudly deputized for such a long time.
VERBATIM;
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT Y K MUSEVENI
I want to appeal to you Mr. President to take courage and forgive this young man Hon. Kyagilanyi. He may have caused atrocities but your kind heart can say forgive. I have known you for sometime and I know and believe you can consider my appeal positively. You recall our discussion with you after your swearing in ceremony 2006 at state house Entebbe regarding the terrible disruption of the event by Kizza Besigye. With you throwing stones to visiting heads of governments. I was hash but you golden heart forgave. I was humbled and had great admiration. Don’t take Kyagulanyi to a court martial please.
I have used this decent forum to appeal to you because I can’t reach you easily by phone.
May God guide you to the decision you make on my appeal.
Thank you sir.
Prof. Gilbert B Bukenya
