Singer Ronald Mayinja has composed and released a song in which he praises the incumbent, President Yoweri Museveni on his achievements for the country adding that he will vote for him.
According to the new song titled Akalulu (vote), the singer says whereas many abuse Museveni, he is still a father figure to the country.
“We abuse you and you get hurt but you don’t take offense. Your wisdom and knowledge are still very needed by the country. You bring your enemies to close and ask to resolve their issues. Since your youthful days, you have tried to transform the country and the results are tangible. The vote(2021) is yours,” Mayinja says in the new song.
Quoting great Italian renaissance diplomat, philosopher, and writer, Niccolò Machiavelli, Mayinja says in the new song that Museveni should be loved and respected for his contribution to the country.
The song comes a few weeks to the start of the 2021 election campaigns and it is expected that the song will be used to canvass votes for President Museveni as he seeks another mandate to lead the country.
However, following the release of the song, a number of commentators, especially on social media who have had a chance to listen to it, have since blasted Mayinja over double standards for hoodwinking them that he was behind National Unity Platform’s Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine.
