General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s first son and Senior Presidential Advisor in Charge of Special Operations has defied his father’s directives to leave Twitter, his favourite social media platform.
His father, the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni was quoted by Ugandan media this October 18 saying that “Gen Muhoozi must leave Twitter”
Museveni is said to have had discussions with Muhoozi over his use of the platform in which he had insinuated plans to attack neighboring Kenya’s capital Nairobi in two weeks, a tweet which resulted in counteraction from Kenyans.
Museveni was yesterday quoted saying that the problem is not the platform but the way his son was using it or what he was tweeting.
Before a day passed Muhoozi had already returned to Twitter with comments which are in response to Kenyans, but also with religious-minded tweets and touching base on his opinion over Uganda’s opposition politician Kizza Besigye.
“I hear some journalist from Kenya asked my father to ban me from Twitter. Is that some kind of joke?? I am an adult and NO ONE will ban me from anything!” Muhoozi said.
This tweet has become very popular but with mixed feelings where some of his followers support his presence on Twitter while others used the opportunity to hit back at the government and Muhoozi in person and his attacks on Kenya.
