Hearts Full of Gratitude🙏 It took 'we' for 'I' to be born, and the survival of 'I' depends on 'we.' The strength of 'I' lies in 'we.' There is nothing 'I' could do without 'we.' I was told, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," but I've come to realize that isn't true. Instead, I can do something with the help of 'we,' and 'we' can do all things through collective reasoning – the 'we' concept. We are everything to ourselves, and in the absence of 'we,' 'I' have no power. I can only be 'I' because 'we' are for each other📌 #TwenzetuButiama2026 #KiswahiliFahariYetu #AfrikaMasharikiKwetu @KagutaMuseveni @SuluhuSamia @WilliamsRuto @AntiGraft_SH @StateHouseUg @NRMOnline @AkenaJimmyMP @UPCSecretariat @igp_ug1 @IGGUganda @DrOkiria @AbabuNamwamba @Col_FMwesigye @TonyOwana @Rotengo2 @ruhindifredrick @AndrewMwenda @RugyendoQuotes @TodwongR @Parliament_Ug @EA_Bunge @EACJCourt @EABCjumuiya

It's been such an enriching pilgrimage expedition that started on 1st October at the University of Dar es Salaam, Nkrumah Hall @UdsmOfficial where pilgrims were flagged off by the University Vice Chancellor Prof. William Anangisye. We were further flagged off at Makerere University @Makerere Freedom Square by H.E Mheshimiwa Balozi @AbabuNamwamba flanked by State House Anti Corruption Unit @AntiGraft_SH Head Brig. Gen. Henry Isoke @h_isoke. Challenges faced not withstanding, I'm happy to report that by the Grace of God, we've managed to achieve our set out objectives under the Theme: Espousing the Enduring Legacy and Values of our @Jumuiya Founding Fathers: a Call for Enhanced Efforts Towards a Politically Federated EAC📌 We've visited: 1. Akokoro City in Apac District in Northern Uganda at Dr. Apolo Milton Obote's, 2. Mwitongo in Butiama District Mara Region Tanzania at Mwalimu Julius Nyerere's, 3. Kang'o ka Jaramogi in Bondo Siaya County Kenya at Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's and Baba Raila Amollo Odinga, 4. National Assembly of Kenya @KENYAPARLIAMENT where we paid tribute to Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in Nairobi, Kenya. 5. EAC Secretariat in Arusha, Tanzania where the Clerk of @EA_Bunge received us and further flagged us off to Lusaka Zambia. 6. The Historical Mulungushi Rock of Authority located between Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi District. 7. Mzee Dr. Kenneth Kaunda's Pre-Liberation #ChilenjeHouse394 on Zambia's independence Day 24th October 2026. 8. Climaxed at Embassy Square at the Presidential Burial Grounds where we paid respect to Dr. Kenneth Kaunda as one of the towering Pan African Liberation Struggles Hero. I was in company of Comrade Tilyenji Kaunda - President Emeritus of the United National Independence Party (UNIP) and the son of its founder and the first President of Zambia, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, the Hon. @AkenaJimmyMP President of Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) @UPCSecretariat and son to Dr. Apolo Milton Obote, the Executive Director of Zambia National Heritage Conservation Commission, Fellow Bikers from Uganda, UNIP Party current president, SG, Treasurer..........Members of the 4th Estate and the general public. One Uganda - One Nation One Zambia - One Nation One Africa - One United Continent My brief remarks at Mzee Kaunda's Grave, "Tubidhaishe Kiswahili - Tukieneze Kiswahili - Tukienzi Kiswahili. Beyond a medium of linguistic expression, Kiswahili is a symbol of unity, progress, and Pan-Africanism. Kiswahili, in its neutrality, offers Africa a means of rejecting colonial legacies that have bound the continent to foreign tongues. It is inclusive, bridging ethnic divides and offering a common ground for all Africans, regardless of their native languages. Welcome to Uganda - The Pearl of Africa." I also reminded the gathering of your statement that, "Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere is the Greatest Black Man that has ever lived." - @KagutaMuseveni “His monumental achievements for Tanzania and the people of southern Africa, and indeed beyond, cast into insignificance whatever errors Mwalimu might have committed as a human being.”– Kenneth Kaunda. Our Forefathers - All gave some, some gave all. We may know them all, but we owe them all. Remembering them is noble📌 Honour Yesterday, Inspire Today, Build Tomorrow✍️ "Until I can take pride in my language, I cannot take pride in myself.” (Anzaldua 39) This quote expresses an idea that linguistic identity is a mirror to ethnic identity, and also a mirror to one person✍️ #AfrikaMasharikiKwetu #KiswahiliFahariYetu #TwenzetuButiama2026 @StateHouseUg @NRMOnline @Parliament_Ug @MODVA_UPDF @RuhakanaR @otafiire_k @Col_FMwesigye @Rotengo2 @RebeccaKadagaUG

TRACING & TREKKING THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR AFRICAN LIBERATION HEROES & EAC/OAU FOUNDING FATHERS!! TODAY'S FOCUS 👉 THE MULUNGUSHI CLUB📌 The Mulungushi Club was an alliance of three East and Central African Founding Presidents established in 1969: • Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere – President of Tanzania 🇹🇿 • Mzee Kenneth Kaunda – President of Zambia 🇿🇲 • Dr. Apolo Milton Obote – President of Uganda 🇺🇬 Purpose and History✍️ • Formation: Created in 1969 at the Mulungushi Rock of Authority in Kabwe, Zambia, during a Ruling Party Conference. • Goals: Promoted Pan-Africanism, African socialism, and coordinated support for armed liberation movements fighting colonialism and white-minority rule in Southern Africa. • Platform: The leaders used international bodies like the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the Commonwealth, and the Non-Aligned Movement to advance their collective agenda. The Mulungushi Club was a Strategic Alignment and Think-Tank of like-minded African leaders to promote Pan-Africanism, fight colonialism and apartheid in Southern Africa, and foster regional cooperation📌 The Mulungushi Rock of Authority is a historic isolated Rock Hill (Kopje) located in Central Province, Zambia, near the border of Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi District. Often called the "Birthplace of Zambian Independence," it holds deep national significance as a venue for major political rallies, conventions, and state policy announcements. Key Historical Milestones • 1958 & 1960: Hosted early nationalist gatherings, including rallies for the Zambian African National Congress (ZANC) and the founding conference of the United National Independence Party (UNIP) led by Mzee Kenneth Kaunda. • 1964 Onward: Became the regular site for annual political party conventions and major governance assemblies following Zambia's independence. • 1968 & 1975: Served as the backdrop for major economic and policy reforms, notably the 1968 Mulungushi Declaration where President Kenneth Kaunda announced the nationalization of key foreign-owned companies. Modern Use: Situated on the grounds of Mulungushi University, the site has hosted the university's annual graduation ceremonies since 2009 alongside continuing political and Labour Union assemblies. Yes - Our Forefathers - All gave some, some gave all. We may know them all, but we owe them all. Remembering them is noble📌 Honour Yesterday, Inspire Today, Build Tomorrow✍️ Today, 23rd October 2026 the Hon. @AkenaJimmyMP and I in company of Comrades; King Vuni, King Sein, Uncle Ken Senior, Uncle G & Ken GP arrived in the capital Lusaka ahead of Zambia's Independence Anniversary tomorrow 24th October 2026. On our way from Kapiri Mposhi, we visited the Mulungushi Rock of Authority/ Mwamba wa Mamlaka wa Mulungushi. Such a historical site that should be visited by the youngsters to remind ourselves of where we've come from, where we're, where we want to go and how to go there✍️ @KagutaMuseveni @SuluhuSamia @WilliamsRuto @NRMOnline @ccm_tanzania @UDAKenya @StateHouseUg @StateHouseKenya @IkuluTanzania @HonMahmoudKombo @Col_FMwesigye @AbabuNamwamba @RebeccaKadagaUG @mukulaa @jkmuhwezi @otafiire_k @RuhakanaR @AmamaMbabazi #TheTendoTales #Sharing2Inspire #AfrikaMasharikiKwetu #KiswahiliFahariYetu #TukiamuaInawezakana

A beautiful moment of learning, reflection, and exchanging ideas with Mr. Akena son to Dr. Milton Obote. 🇺🇬✨ One of the most profound stories shared was how Dr. Milton Obote’s father, despite being blind, envisioned his son’s future leadership of this country. A powerful reminder that vision goes beyond physical sight; it is about seeing possibilities that others may not yet see. Conversations like these remind us that leadership is not merely about holding positions, but about purpose, legacy, and the courage to believe in a future that is yet to unfold. Sometimes, the greatest visions are seen by those who cannot physically see. ❤️🌍 #Leadership #Vision #Legacy #RegionalIntegration

Uganda’s independence and the unfinished business of African unity What did our forefathers imagine when they spoke of freedom? Did they see independence simply as the raising of a new national flag, the singing of a new national anthem and the replacement of colonial administrators with African leaders? Or did they imagine a continent whose people would eventually overcome the artificial boundaries that divided them and build a united, prosperous and peaceful Africa? observer.ug/viewpoint/uganda… #UgandaAt64

Dr. Apolo Milton Obote should be honored as the face of Uganda's Independence Day because he rose from tradition and illiteracy and led the nation from scattered colonial kingdoms to unified self-rule making him an unforgettable figure who deserves lasting recognition.

I share the light that Dr. APOLO MILTON OBOTE should always be a face figure of independence day. That's when effort will always be rewarded fo the past, now and in the future. A man who improved himself by becoming a doctor amid tradition and illiteracy, and improved Uganda from colonial rule of scattered kinddoms to self-rule of one sovereign country, should be saluted. He becomes a large elephant in the room; had to hide, hard to cover, hard to silence. He was George Washington of Uganda.
We honour and celebrate the legacy of the Founding Father of the Nation, H.E. Dr. Apollo Milton Obote. Happy Independence Day, Uganda! @AkenaJimmyMP Courtesy 📷
