Lamwo MP Kezekiya Nyeko endorses Gen Muhoozi says Lamwo is ready to stand firm behind him.

KAMPALA — Lamwo Constituency MP, Hon Nyeko Johnson Kezekiya commonly known as “Mr. Action”, has openly endorsed the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) Chairman, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, describing him as the tested and ready leader to carry Uganda forward after President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
Nyeko made the endorsement at the PLU Secretariat in Naguru, where he received his PLU endorsement card alongside other leaders from Lamwo.
Speaking with confidence, the legislator said Lamwo has made its choice, and that choice is Gen. Muhoozi.
“A standby generator”
In a remark that drew applause from supporters, Nyeko likened Gen. Muhoozi to a standby generator — always prepared, always reliable, and ready to take over without interruption when the time comes.
“Gen. Kainerugaba is exactly like a standby generator. From Museveni now, to Muhoozi tomorrow,” MP Nyeko said.
According to Nyeko, Uganda needs continuity of leadership that understands security, discipline, and national unity — qualities he said Gen. Muhoozi has demonstrated as Chief of Defence Forces.
Praise for Museveni on border peace
Hon Johnson Kezekiya Nyeko also commended NRM National Chairman and President of the Republic of Uganda Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for the current peace along Uganda and south- Sudan border area of Agoro, Patika, Palugar Ngomoromo, particularly in Lamwo and the wider Acholi sub-region.
He said the peace that Lamwo enjoys today is not by accident, but a result of deliberate leadership, sacrifice and a strong security policy championed by President Museveni.
“Today our people sleep in peace. Our children go to school. Our farmers go to the garden. That is the peace President Museveni has given us,” he said.
PLU and the fight against corruption
The Lamwo Constituency MP further praised PLU as a pressure group that has excellently taken up the fight against corruption in Uganda.
He said PLU’s message resonates with ordinary Ugandans who are tired of corruption eating into service delivery, and who want leaders who are accountable and action-oriented.
Nyeko said PLU’s anti-corruption drive fits perfectly within President Museveni’s long-standing preaching on socio-economic transformation and wealth creation.
“President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has always preached about wealth creation and socio- economic transformation. PLU is now carrying that same message to the grassroots — that we must fight corruption and create wealth for our people,” he said.
Lamwo’s message
Nyeko said his endorsement was not personal, but a reflection of the mood in Lamwo, where many people believe Gen. Muhoozi represents the next generation of leadership — energetic, patriotic and committed to Uganda’s stability.
He urged other leaders to be bold and declare their stand, saying Uganda’s future will be shaped by leaders who are not afraid to speak for what they believe in.
