Fred Nyanzi, the chairman of mobilisation for the National Unity Platform (NUP), has advised his son, James Churchill Ssentamu, to resign as Makerere University Guild President following a controversial photo with President Yoweri Museveni.
In a viral video, Nyanzi, who is also the brother of NUP leader Bobi Wine, expressed his dismay over the image.
"I received news that annoyed Ugandans and annoyed me a lot... I saw pictures of my son seated with the dictator. My son, Churchill, that man you're seated with is a very dangerous man... he doesn't wish you anything good. He has so much blood on his hands. His hands are bloodstained. That man tried to kill me two months ago. He tried to kill your uncle, Kyagulanyi, you know that very well. He arrested your relatives. Many Ugandans have died at his hands," Nyanzi said.
Nyanzi, who has previously run for Parliament and lost, urged his son to apologise to Ugandans, reminding him that their family supports NUP.

"It's true you won on an independent ticket, but you're out son. The world sees a lot in you," he added.
James Churchill Ssentamu became Makerere University's 91st guild president in March after failing to secure a NUP ticket.
