Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has called out Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino over his links with Ugandan politicians that are against the ruling party National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Speaking on Tuesday, August 27 during the official launch of Raila Odinga’s African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson bid, Museveni said he always receives intelligence reports of Babu.
“There are some individuals in Raila’s group who I don’t think know what they are doing. You know I am a consumer of intelligence service. So, I always see intelligence reports. There is a character called Babu. I always see Babu dealing with anti-NRM groups,” said Museveni.
The Ugandan President however said he doesn’t link Raila to Babu and he knows the ODM leader as a nationalist.
“I am accusing Babu, but those are individuals, they are not Raila. I know Raila as a nationalist and Pan-Africanist,” Museveni added.

Babu has been previously spotted campaigning for former Ugandan Presidential aspirant Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu popularly known as Bobi Wine.
In 2018, the Ugandan government banned Babu from entering Uganda over undermining President Museveni’s administration.
Museveni is among the African Presidents and former Presidents who graced Raila’s AUC bid launch at State House.
Others were; Samia Suluhu (Tanzania), Salva Kiir (South Sudan), and the Prime Minister of Burundi Gervais Ndirakobuca.
Former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo also attended the event.
