Former host of Citizen TV’s “Ten over Ten” show, Willis Raburu has humurously responded to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s assertion that people are encouraging him to run in the 2026 election due to his fitness.
Raburu, who recently departed from Citizen TV, shared a news article covering Museveni’s statement about seeking the presidency again, expressing the hope that the reference was to a marathon rather than an electoral race.
“Let’s hope he is talking about a marathon” he said ending and starting the caption in laugh emojis.
President Yoweri Museveni who is now 79 years old, expressed readiness to seek another term in the 2026 presidential elections.
The President speaking at an event today in Uganda, touted his physical strength and stamina, which he said was the reason young people are still calling upon him to seek a seventh term in office.
This, he said, was because he does not drink alcohol or use body weakening drugs.
“I am now going to be 80 years old, but you hear you are asking me to continue leading the war,” Museveni said. “This is because I am fit; I am not sick. If I was sick in a wheelchair you would not be disturbing me by saying ‘Jaajja tova ku main.’ You say that because you see that I still have some strength. “That is because I don’t take alcohol. It is very dangerous for the body. I also don’t smoke cigarettes, let alone those other poisons which you take.”
