Ugandans Defend Pilgrim Africa after False Corruption accusations by Mukula

Mike Mukula thought he was starting a fire, but instead, he burned himself. When he went on Twitter to post false corruption allegations against Pilgrim Africa, he expected people to believe him. But Ugandans were quick to respond, and they didn’t hold back. What he got was not support, but serious backlash and shame. His media campaign failed badly.

Almost immediately after Mukula posted the tweet, Ugandans began calling him out. People on Twitter blasted him for trying to tarnish the name of an organization that has helped so many people. One user tweeted:

“It’s shameful that you are sharing and posting this.”

Another said:

“You have no audacity to talk about Pilgrim Africa. You’re the most corrupt and even once jailed.”

Ouch. The internet came for him hard.

People couldn’t believe that Mike Mukula, someone who has a history of corruption scandals, had the nerve to accuse a respected NGO of wrongdoing. It was like a thief calling the police corrupt.

Ugandans were quick to point out his past, reminding him and everyone else that he was once jailed over corruption. In short, they told him to clean his own house before talking about others.

Many people questioned the timing. Why is Mukula suddenly attacking Pilgrim Africa now? One comment said:

“Why is it coming out now?”

Another replied:

“This is simply a power fight.”

It became clear to many that this wasn’t about justice or truth, it was about politics. Dirty politics. Mukula was trying to damage Pilgrim Africa’s image, maybe because he feels threatened by the good work they’re doing.

Instead of turning people against Pilgrim Africa, Mukula became the laughing stock of Twitter. People started posting memes, reminding him of his past scandals. Some pointed that Pilgrim Africa has saved more lives than Mukula has told the truth.

Others said he should be doing something useful with his time, like exercising instead of attacking people doing real work. The online crowd made it clear: they trust Pilgrim Africa more than they trust Mukula.

What Mukula hoped would be a successful smear campaign has ended in complete embarrassment. He wanted to destroy Pilgrim Africa’s name, but instead, he lost credibility. His plan failed because Ugandans stood up for the truth. They defended an organization that helps them and exposed the man trying to bring it down.

Pilgrim Africa continues to support communities across Uganda. They fight malaria, support schools, help farmers, and change lives. Meanwhile, Mukula’s tweet is just another example of someone trying to bring down others for personal gain and failing badly.
