Musician-turned-politician Mathias Walukaga has publicly disowned an X (formerly Twitter) account operating under his name, warning the public against being misled by its posts.
During a recent press conference, Walukaga who is also the National Unity Platform (NUP) flag bearer for Busiro East clarified that he has no account on X, emphasizing that he only uses Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp to communicate with his fans and constituents.
“I want to make it clear to all my supporters and the public that I am not on X. I only use Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp to engage with my people,” he stated.
Mathias Walukaga expressed concern that the fake account has been sharing political statements and personal opinions as though they were his, calling the act a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and tarnish his reputation.
“Whoever is behind that account is trying to create confusion and spread falsehoods in my name. I have already instructed my team to handle the matter with the relevant authorities,” he said.
He further urged supporters to verify official pages before sharing or believing any information online.
According to NUP officials, the party has also been notified about the impersonation, and members have called for increased vigilance among supporters, citing a growing trend of online identity theft targeting public figures in Uganda.
Walukagga reaffirmed his dedication to service, unity, and development, saying his priority remains the upliftment of the people of Busiro East.
“My focus is on working for my people and promoting unity and development. Please ignore any fake posts and only trust what comes from my official pages,” he concluded.
