Hajjati Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, the Head of the Office of the NRM National Chairman (ONC), has fired back at media personality Frank Gashumba, dismissing any romantic interest in him and citing his bleaching habits as a dealbreaker.
In a candid response to Gashumba’s recent remarks where he claimed Namyalo was not his type, she has hit back strongly.
“You said I’m not your type, but who told you you’re mine?. We used to hang out when I had money. If I had wanted you, I would have used my money to get you, but I didn’t because you bleach.”Namyalo stated
Namyalo went on to reveal that during their former friendship, Gashumba frequently confided in her, particularly about his issues with women. She expressed surprise at his current partner, given how critical he had previously been of other women’s appearances.
“You used to run to me with your problems about women, yet you’re out here acting like a prize, I’ve never dated a man who wasn’t revealed to me by God. Every relationship I’ve had has been spiritually led. Some just didn’t work out, and that’s okay.”,she said.
She also took a jab at Gashumba’s recent marriage, adding sarcastically, “We didn’t even talk about your wife. The way you insulted us, we thought you were going to marry God herself, someone we’d all worship. But that didn’t happen.”
Gashumba recently held a Gusaba (traditional marriage introduction ceremony) with Patience Mutoni Malaika at her family’s home in Ssembabule District. During the ceremony, he paid the full bride price: Shs6 million and 12 cows.
According to Namyalo, her fallout with Gashumba was rooted in money. She claims he turned on her after she removed him from the ONC payroll and cut off access to deals he previously benefited from. Namyalo also presented documents alleging that she had disbursed over Shs500 million to Gashumba before severing ties.
Since then, the two have been locked in a public back-and-forth, with Gashumba allegedly attempting to tarnish Namyalo’s image within top NRM circles, including with President Museveni.
The feud appears far from over. Stay tuned for further updates.
