Pep Guardiola’s side had beaten the Gunners for 12 straight games. In fact, Arsenal had last beaten the Cityzens in 2015. However, an 86th-minute Gabriel Martinelli goal secured all three points for Arsenal.
As if Arsenal fans all over the world have the same traits, they sent social media into a meltdown including their own communities. Up to now, fans are still supporting. And for the Ugandan fans, they are always known for taking it a step further.
Taking to their X page, FDC said such a day will come when it’s not just football making Ugandans this loud. It will in fact be political and not football. This will be the day that President Yoweri Museveni and all his elements have vanquished power.
Furthermore, the Najjanankumbi-based party congratulated the Gunners for this win. They then added that football is a culture of peace and human rights.
“This overwhelmingly positive noise from the Arsenal fans, shall be the same noise that Ugandans will laud with when Gen. Museveni and elements of his forces are vanquished. Kudos to our Arsenal members, football is a culture of Peace and respect for human rights.”
However, it’s not clear if the blue opposition party will be the one to deliver this promise. The party has its own problems and might vanish before the regime they dream of toppling.
Currently, FDC has two warring factions. One is known as the Katonga faction led by Dr. Kiiza Besigye, Erias Lukwago, Ssemujju Nganda among others.
Patrick Amuriat Oboi and Nandala Mafabi lead the Najjanankumbi faction. This clamped down its authority on the official party premises with a delegates’ conference last week.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
