We shall be dissecting the logical formulation of why Museveni has and continues to rule for so long;
In the cenacle of African governance, the convention has it that once you master the algorithm of democracy, then you have the password to political supremacy. Of course, this is not true. Museveni has ruled for so long because he has the unction of statesmanship. The majority of families in North, East, West, and Central Uganda are personally known to Museveni by historical conjecture. This positively induces the majority of citizens to regard Museveni as a better candidate than his competitors.
In the world of African civilization, cultural symbolism is eminent among kings and queens, as an embodiment of heritage. Museveni against all odds permitted the restoration of kings in Bunyoro, Busoga, Toro, Teso, Buganda, etc. Some of the guys in NUP and FDC, who are dying to succeed Museveni, actually hate cultural leaders. This is evident with their derogatory remarks on Youtube and Facebook, where they delegate their chief campaigners to immensely abuse cultural leaders and institutions for harmoniously working with the government! The well-evidenced reverence for feudalism by Museveni has to a measurable extent contributed to his long stay in power.
The Paradigm of moral sanctity is paramount in the pursuit of nation-building and state power, major in Africa. Some young people in opposition, who are craving to succeed Museveni by hook or crook, have been mischievously advised, that when you post pictures of your posh houses and cars on Tik tok, automatically people will vote you into the state house. Of course, this perception is total idiocy.
Museveni, just like Fidel Castro, has always exhumed social virtuosity, right from the bush war struggle, he is not a person of pomp and glamour, and this has endeared him to the majority of people in the countryside.
Concerning the advancement of a 21st-century nation, the most vital cardinal virtue is called state sovereignty. To the majority of Ugandans and Africans, Museveni is a celebrated sanctified father of black pacification, that is the art and science of building a first-class army, the UPDF, which is a golden pillar in the sacred protection of Uganda and the entire great lakes region.
It’s ironic then, that some young people in the opposition, with the intent, to succeed Museveni, invest so many synergies, abusing and showing contempt of Uganda’s heroic officers in the army, negating the self-evident truth, that the army by composite structure holds an upper hand on who should take the State House throne at the right time, in line with the ordinances, of heavenly providence.
