I will capture Nairobi for sure If any Kenyan tries to prevent me. He’ll be soup! We will drink him for dinner.
I will capture Nairobi for sure! That’s my hometown. If any Kenyan tries to prevent me. He’ll be soup! We will drink him for dinner. My father can sack me again if he wants,” read a deleted tweet from Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni.
According to the general, most Kenyans are afraid of Uganda’s army, which he claims is superior to Kenya’s and is capable of capturing Nairobi in a week. With his boasts about taking down Nairobi, Uganda’s first son has caused controversy before.
He stirred controversy with a similar outburst in October of last year when he tweeted that it would take him two weeks to take over Nairobi. He even went so far as to request advice about where he should settle down following the conquest expedition.
It wouldn’t take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi,” he said. “After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?” he posed.
Following the uproar, Kenya’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Alfred Mutua, met with the Ugandan Ambassador to Kenya, who informed him that Muhoozi’s tweet did not represent the views of the government and that President Yoweri Museveni had personally apologized for his son’s words.
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba further declared that he will succeed his father as the country’s future leader. The General said on Friday that anyone attempting to stop his rise to Uganda’s top position is fighting a losing battle in another of his contentious Twitter rants.
