The son of President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has declared his resignation from X, where he has been posting contentious statements.
In violation of military convention, the 50-year-old army general has been more active in politics, rekindling discussions about his aspirations to succeed his father, who has held the position since 1986.
In a recent tweet, he threatened to decapitate Bobi Wine, the nation’s top opposition figure, which infuriated many.
Gen. Kainerugaba stated that “time has now come to leave and concentrate” on his military responsibilities in his final post on Friday, but he also pledged to “re-converge” with his one million followers in the future.
General Kainerugaba had previously terminated his X account.
