• President Museveni formed NRM shortly after he clenched the presidential seat back in 1986.

• His son claims the party's leadership no longer represents the people of Uganda.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's son Muhoozi Kainerugaba seems to be changing his tune barely a day after attacking his father’s political outfit, the National Resistance Movement (NRM).

In a series of tweets that are still up on his Twitter account, general Muhoozi took a swipe at the party’s way of leadership saying that what it has become does not represent the people of Uganda.

The tweets gained a lot of attention online with most accusing him of trying to usurp his father.

Muhoozi now seems to have taken to Twitter to offer some sort of backhanded apology as he praised his father but still beat his chest claiming even his father knows his boundless capabilities.

"My father and I are the closest friends in the world. We share everything together. I cannot fight him because he made me. But even he knows who I am and my capabilities," read the former UPDF commander's tweet.

In a series of tweets, Muhoozi shared that he believes in his father and Jesus Christ but not NRM.

"I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe in my father, General @KagutaMuseveni. I certainly do not believe in NRM. In Marxist terms, it is probably the most reactionary organisation in the country," his tweet read.

Muhoozi's father formed NRM shortly after he clenched the presidential seat back in 1986 and has since then successfully run for presidency on 6 occasions with the party.

The general has gone ahead and changed his Twitter profile picture into a photo of Jesus. This is after a tweet that read, "My party and Jesus Christ's party is not called "National Progressive Party," we have a much better name than that!"

Muhoozi has been in the media limelight since early October when he threatened Kenya with military invasion and the capture of Nairobi.

Which was followed by his father banning him from talking about anything political on social media platforms, Twitter specifically. A move that Muhoozi has clearly disregarded.

The 78-year-old president speaking in an interview acknowledged that he had not been pleased by his son's tweets thus why Muhoozi and the blue app were getting sent to time out.
