Tanga Collins victory exposes the open shamelessness and hypocrisy of some NRM leaders

Op-Ed: The shameless million-dollar scheme orchestrated by very powerful but toxic elements of nature to destroy Dr. Tanga Odoi just ended in Premium Pro-Maxx tears with the Victory of his Son Collins Tanga for the lucrative and power-wielding position of National Chairman, NRM Youth League. In football, the youth league as the ‘obvious 2nd 11″ of one of the most Powerful political Economic organizations in the whole of Africa, the National Resistance Movement led by General Museveni.

For the last one year or so, the Uganda cyberspace and beyond has been jammed with various independent and well-coordinated bloggers as well as commentators alike, both in Opposition of the thinking contest, which is not surprising but mostly from within the NRM circles, insulting, attacking, demonizing and misrepresenting the person and imagery of Dr Tanga Odoi the @nrmonline EC boss. A persistent hate campaign and various cyber attacks on Dr. TANGA ODOI the NRM EC chairperson ensued overtime with edited viral videos and memes appearing online only meant to misbrand Tanga as a ‘poor counter. All these remained unchallenged until today when I have spoken.

As the dates to the NRM primaries heated up, several political gossip sites, whatsapp groups and bloggers upped their tempo at the ANTI-ODOI plot using now redundant hashtags such as #TangaMustGo on TV, TikTok, YouTube, wonna!

Yes, redundant because their highly sponsored warped narrative that they wanted Gen. Y.K Museveni and the NRM as well as the opposition and national fraternity to believe was defeated Yesterday in the RE-RUN of the NRM Elections for the Youth which had been decentralized and Dr. TANGA asked to temporarily step aside. I can bet that on that day, Dr. Tanga told Gen Museveni, “AFANDE, you will SEE, utacheka”. And indeed he has seen, but what he already knew in the first place. Gen Museveni always knows the facts.

Of course the outcry was massive especially from we from Western Uganda. When we suspect injustice, we can wail until nothing can move on this planet. We are used to only winning and victory and you can hear our names, Abaho-the one who will always be there, Asiimwe-The one who should be thanked (appreciated), Tinkasiimire (I am not yet contented), Mbabazi (the one with the Most Mercy on earth), Ayinebyona (The man who poseses everything in this world”, Akankunda (My husband loves me more than he loves you” etc etc ..hehe.

So the idea of LOSING is not Western. Kabalega lost only once and that was during the final battle in Lango whereby he was betrayed. And his name means ‘the one who will stretch their ribs if they try me, iwe barekye”..

Moreso, any contest having Very Beautiful and Brilliant Ugandan ladies with sweet names such Kiconco, Ampire, Mercy, hmm, if they or any of them all called myself, me Makombo and then am his Excellency in 2060, crying and weeping that they had been cheated by my own Staff whom I trust the most with my own internal political successful systems and processes for over decades, to be honest I Would also PICK up the phones and ‘do whatever they ask me to”. Hehehe.

Compatriot Brenda Kiconco is my close friend, a former workmate and even current teammate in many ways, but am very sure she can call AFANDE anytime she feels like. Hehehiii mawe!! . Don’t even dare her, ninkatera okuramba. The finest Mukiga I’ve ever met. Strong, confident, charming well connected, hard-working, powerful, very gorgeous and very kind.

Before we put the above allegorical sarcasm aside, as the President of Uganda then, calling my imaginary friend Dr. Tanga then and telling him to spare some more oil money to APPEASE the tears of these sisters of mine who are vividly very great at mobilization wouldn’t be a bad suggestion. He too wouldn’t decline for sure, even with reservations.

It’s therefore very highly likely that Chairman Gen Museveni himself already trusted Dr. Tanga’s initial works, and knew that indeed that Collins Tanga couldn’t be defeated and had indeed won the first bout at Kololo, but he sought to simply give the upcoming great Ugandan women leaders the chance to try again using any methods they deemed fit. It’s part of practical Field training the revolutionaries how to compromise in a future without himself as chairperson of the Party as the NRM party now belongs to the Kiconcos and the Tanga Collins to lead for the foreseeable future.

It must be noted that the appealing disgruntled and now lost internal contestants must not be blamed in any way for the shameful coordinated and vividly well-coordinated disinformation and Hate campaigns against Tanga Odoi for the past months for they are just pawns in a game of bigger thrones that are firing off at higher dimensions of powerplay in Uganda and global Political economic auroras.

Popular tools and icons of the day such as brilliant upcoming young leaders are being targeted through their own processes to be USED to attain whatever political economic and even cultural indoctrination schemes by the now divided NRM leadership especially within the Top Administration as aided by internal and external elements unimaginable.

It’s indeed true that Tanga Collins is Dr. Tanga Odoi the ‘referee”s son, a vivid conflict of interest that he clearly openly declared as mandated. There was no rule that mandated him to step aside after that. His stepping aside was therefore legally a compromise too.

It’s not illegal to be a Headmaster in a School where you Son is a also Student. You are also free to mark his papers with fairness and justice as NO sane father ever wants his Child to SURVIVE and THRIVE as a THIEF of anything on this planet . If you noticed, even the most corrupt criminals don’t want their children to DO what they do? Dad what do you do? Am a Lawyer who defeats criminals and injustice, only. Not lawyer who grabs land which is the truth the Child needs to hear. But which parent?

 Is Tanga Odoi different from any other normal average Ugandan father?

But too this was not also a valid reason to warrant such a massively funded anti-Odoi campaign sustained for such a period of time. As a blog site owner with many news outlets and articles out there, i am fully aware that every article published is paid for by someone or something. To have this published, I simply volunteered to Research and fund it’s publishing at costs unimaginable. The one against Tanga, if quantified in monetary terms and every organized attack tabulated on the UG cyber space and internet, would be worth BILLIONS of UGX in WASTED destructive investments efforts.

It’s indeed truly suspicious. Are these really Ugandans behind the SPONSORING of the demonization of NRM Party kingpins who help SUSTAIN her strength, power, democracy and progress? This must be investigated thoroughly by Security and Intelligence and NRM researchers.

The MOTIVE is what I would be interested in as a Researcher too. Is NRM being attacked by Foreign Funders and enemies of Uganda’s progress illicitly channelling Funds VIA NRM (or any Ugandan) leadership systems to TARGET and PLACE many AGENTS or MOLES or Collaborators within the Party and hence be able to “CONTROL Ugandan way of Life via ‘Remote” using Ugandan leaders themselves but as determined by their foreign interests?

Am told Bobi Wine too never survived this indoctirantion as I have valid information that he was tutored from abroad and funded by a Foreign based organization BEFORE he chose to even be an MP. I also have the records for this trip and details of others who attended with him and some are now NRM leaders today.

I’ve seen these things happen in the Americas, whereby pressure groups championing foreign radical reactionary interests now determine everything about their policies, politics, culture and economics. You all know them and voted against them collectively as Ugandans at the UN a few days ago.

The level of coordinated disinformation, Hatred and LIES metted out against Dr. Tanga by these manipulated media cartels even outweigh whatever those same NRM leaning bloggers unleash on Opposition leaders for example.

This is also suspicious utterly. Shouldn’t a normally functioning paid NRM or leaning patriotic voluntary content creator, blogger or writer be creating mostly content supporting everything about the NRA/ MOVT and ALL her leadership or at least discrediting the info being relayed by the opposers with the TIME and DATA that they are usually paid to use and which is limited? Ten articles against Tanga Odoi per week by just one top NRM promoter and NONE from him or her about Govt Programs or even Gen Museveni’s weekly programmes, using Money from NRM is suspicious.

The attack on Dr Tanga didn’t end only after the Primaries which Gen Museveni himself as Chairman had declared free and fair, peaceful and successful. They kept sponsoring online versions about Youth aspirant Brenda Kiconco having won with over 3,000 Votes, daily.

Infact it’s even suspicious as reports that during re-run elections, some well known SENIOR NRM officials @NRMSenior are reported by agents and reputable local NRM leaders to have traversed the whole Country spreading Billions of UGX in an attempt to ENSURE that TANGA COLLINS loses (to anyone) as this would fulfill their open sinister goal of destroying the NRM EC leadership with their top NRM ‘mathematician” eliminated first.

In computer Hacking, When you attack the PROGRAMMER of the computer codes, end of Program, there is no need to attack the Program directly as all you see is the UI (User Interface) not the codes that RUN the System (algorithms). In NRM politicos, it’s Dr. TANGA Odoi et al who do the programming in this case therefore. To destroy democracy in Uganda therefore as a Terrorist for example, you don’t need to attack the whole Nation with Artillery, you can’t win the UPDF. All you have to simply do is to MONITOR who MAY become LEADER NEXT and infiltrate the PROCESS that determines their future as Ugandan leaders. That is what is happening to the NRM. This statement and narrative of mine above are not new as they have been said by many including Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba over and over and well recorded.

To these “unclear schemers from within and without”, this would enable their untrue narrative of an Evil Cheating Nepotic Tanga Odoi to prevail. Infact had his son Tanga Collins lost, am Sure that their NEXT Step would have been to begin on a new aggressive Campaign to REMOVE TANGA. Vanity. Infact, the Results of Sept 19th have ASHAMED them. All of them in the eyes of the masses and the NRM fraternity as well as all Ugandans.

The commonly forwarded unverifiable claim that Dr. Tanga Odoi “smuggled in” delegates to Kololo to help his son win has also been rendered stagnant and relegated to the trash can where extreme nonsenses are indefinitely kept by the following Statistics below.

At KOLOLO, the total Number of Votes for all delegates for this particular election of NRM Youth Chairperson was 2,922 valid Votes for all candidates. However, after Dr. Tanga Odoi steps aside and the exercise is now rendered “free and agreeable’ by all and decentralized, the total number of Voters INCREASED dramatically to 3,302?? A difference of a hefty 280 new voters. So were Voters SMUGGLED to Kololo or DENIED access to it? Using Logic. They were denied and that’s why MORE voted outside Kololo than in Kololo. Shame on their narratives again. Whoever denied over 280 youth delegates from Voting in KOLOLO is the one the NRM investigators MUST Seek for, isolate and ELIMINATE from their systems before it’s TOO late because that is the POINT at which the NRM ‘system was HACKED” by whoever.

Who did the Accreditation at every point? What did EACH accreditation officer interact with ALL the Delegates before KOLOLO? We need these answers before the Next Elections? Why didn’t all the eligible National delegates GO to VOTE in Kololo but Choose to VOTE this time in their homes yet heading to Kololo had all the lucrative advantages? How many delegates do we have and how many went to Kololo and how many didn’t turn up? Let whoever didn’t Go be given a Questionnaire which I shall be guiding in designing soon but we must KNOW and be able quantify everything.

If they were 5 defaulters, fine, but OVER 280 is NOT an acceptable margin of error under any statistical terms. Not in the NRM systems we aspire to attain.

If this phenomenon happened ACROSS all NRM positions at Kololo then See how MANY decision makers the Party LEFT OUT of the Process. When you look at the numbers in Kololo, where Tanga Collins was declared the winner, 2,922 delegates voted, compared to 3,202 delegates in yesterday’s voting. This disproves the wildly narrated claims of those who alleged Tanga allowed non-voters to vote in Kololo and inflated Collins’ vote count. Shame! To the Critics and attackers of Dr. Tanga Odoi and the NRM electoral systems. It’s therefore Game Over.

Next time, I suggest a decentralized voting system over the Kololo Camping system and we should never go to Kololo to Vote any NRM leader as the longer the Process of anything the easier it is to be be Hijacked by whatever internal or foreign negative elements.

Do you know why Exams to longer distance areas of Uganda from UNEB headquarters usually LEAK and not the papers to the ones behind UNEB offices. Because Distance from God and Time allow the devil more time to Act better.

Recently, as reported by the contestants themselves, as the NRM chairperson negotiated with the Eng. Ssewavas and the Hon Kasolos and the Karangwas , he was vividly PERPLEXED at how FROM NOWHERE, ANY Person from any part of the Earth (with Heavy MONEY) could APPEAR and DEFEAT a mainstream ardent loyal NRM leader to become a TOP NRM Party leader and decision maker.

People he had barely heard of his whole life were now almost becoming the closest TEAM that CHECKS his Decisions and determine the Future of whatever he has ever created. Asking “new loaded and strange” cadres like comrade Echodu “Why they are dual citizens of USA and UG” is not bad. Better sorry than never.

Finding out he was operating on behalf of CIA or MOSSAD or even Commander Twalib Maktum bin Quraish in 2078 is what we refer to as doing Historical Political Economic ERROR! Not to say that my comrade Echodu is any of the above or even close , but the above example of him I used is a typical edample of a DOUBT that would arise if NRM systems can easily become compromised. I sincerely supported Hon. Echodu because his ideas were revolutionary and industrious and if he had been UNCLEAR to me in any way, I would have FOUGHT against his impending Victory to his loss. Infact, as Head of Security in my capacity, I did all my best to gather as much Intel about the real NATURE of as many candidates as possible, directly participated in promoting the activities and even participating in them directly, for research purposes only as usual.

So it’s great news to the future of this Nation that new leaders can emerge and be triumphant e.g Eng Jonard Asiimwe my Namesake. NRM is therefore not defunct or stagnated in leadership potential as many critics claim. The Nakkus are the next Nyamutoros etc. The Tangas and the Kiconcos will be Cabinet minsters soon. But the TRUTH is, NRM leadership has been infiltrated by “something STRANGE, to me, and malevolent” that may not be at tandem with the Actual Vision 2040 of Uganda as created by the NRM party under our leader and Chairperson Gen Y.K Museveni.
