Dr. Solomon Gafabusa Agutamba Rukirabasaija Iguru, the Omukama of Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom has warned the initiators of the Bugungu cultural institution to stop destabilizing his Kingdom.
It comes as the members of the Bugungu community in Bullisa district are in final preparations to install their cultural leader alias Mutebengwa before the end of this year.
In 2018, a group of Bagungu revealed their plan to break away from Bunyoro to form the Bugungu cultural institution (Obutebengwa) to allegedly preserve the Bagungu culture that they say is facing extinction.
The secession would mean a loss to Bunyoro in terms of its territorial size and a host of natural resources like oil in Buliisa district.
Norman Lukumu, the former Prime minister of Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom, who chairs the organizing committee for the Bugungu Cultural Institution, says plans are underway to install their cultural leader before this year ends.
However, the Omukama of Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom has through his Prime Minister, Andrew Byakutaga warned those behind the breakaway to immediately stop destabilizing the kingdom.
