In a recent address that reeks of desperation, Susan Makula, the wife of the controversial Pastor Aloysius Bugingo, delivered a pathetic sermon to her congregants at the House of Prayer Ministries in Bwaise. Her message was nothing more than a frantic tirade against the electoral process, revealing an alarming ignorance of Uganda’s political landscape. As the 2026 presidential elections approach, Makula’s dire warnings about the consequences of voting choices seem less about genuine concern for the future and more a reflection of her profound cluelessness regarding what true leadership entails in Uganda.
Makula’s fixation on drug use and homosexuality as the primary metrics for a leader’s worthiness exposes her as woefully out of touch. Her simplistic worldview reduces a candidate’s potential to a shallow checklist of moral failings, conveniently ignoring the complex challenges Uganda faces today. The absurdity of her claim that electing a leader who smokes marijuana could turn Entebbe into a “ghetto” is laughable and illustrates her detachment from reality. This kind of fear-mongering rhetoric is reminiscent of the pathetic tactics employed by those clinging to the failing status quo, particularly the ruling party that has consistently dodged addressing the real issues suffocating this nation.
In her ridiculous rant, Makula made Bobi Wine, a prominent champion for accountability and justice in Uganda, her prime target. In a feeble attempt to demonize him, she reveals not just her own insecurities but also the crumbling foundations of her husband’s ministry, which is more opportunistic than genuinely spiritual. Bobi Wine symbolizes hope and progress for countless Ugandans, particularly the disillusioned youth who have grown weary of decades of corrupt and inept leadership. His relentless push for transparency and change is a direct threat to the power structures that charlatans like Makula desperately seek to protect.
Makula’s ludicrous claim that a leader endorsing homosexuality would transform State House into a “hub for homosexuals” drips with toxic homophobia that has long been weaponized by the power-hungry to distract from the pressing issues of poverty, unemployment, and rampant corruption. By fixating on these non-issues, she deliberately ignores the harsh economic and social crises that plague ordinary Ugandans daily. This strategy not only aims to rally her congregation around baseless fears but also reveals her staggering inability to engage in meaningful political discourse.
Furthermore, Makula’s insistence that the election outcome will jeopardize church freedoms is a pathetic ploy to intertwine her personal agenda with political discourse. The real threat to church freedoms comes not from the political system, but from leaders who brazenly ignore democratic principles. Her refusal to confront this truth positions her as a mouthpiece for a deeply flawed system that has failed Uganda’s populace time and again.
While Makula flounders in her attempts to rally her congregation around a banner of fear and misguided priorities, Bobi Wine stands as a glaring beacon of hope for a more inclusive and just Uganda. He embodies the aspirations of a generation yearning to break free from the chains of oppression and corruption. In stark contrast to Makula’s shallow, hateful rhetoric, Wine’s vision for the nation promotes unity, progress, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their background or lifestyle choices.
Ugandans should not let Makula’s fearmongering cloud their judgment; her words are simply a desperate clinging to a crumbling past, a relic of an era that needs to be obliterated for the country’s true progress.
