Ugandan journalist Steven Ariong has made a public appeal to General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, expressing his support for the General's potential presidency. Ariong initially faced backlash when he wrote that Gen. Muhoozi would be the next President of Uganda. He was abused and threatened by those who disagreed with his opinion. However, Ariong is now vindicated as some people are starting to believe in Gen. Muhoozi's potential to lead the country.

Ariong shared his personal experience of being attacked for his views on Gen. Muhoozi, but he remains optimistic about the General's future.

Ariong believes it is time for Ugandans to accept and prepare for Gen. Muhoozi's potential presidency.

The journalist's message to Gen. Muhoozi is one of forgiveness and reconciliation. He urges the General to forgive those currently in prison for abusing him, citing that they did not know what they were doing. Ariong sees this act of forgiveness as part of the mobilisation and reconciliation efforts ahead of Gen. Muhoozi's potential presidency. He believes this will contribute to their success at State House.
