He later said he was “coming to rescue the people of Masaka from Nameere” and claimed that residents of the city support him and President Yoweri Museveni rather than the minister.
The latest ultimatum comes days after Muhoozi issued Nameere a seven-day deadline on September 16, demanding an apology and warning that “nothing will save her” if she failed to comply.
•The dispute followed the circulation of a video clip that appeared to show Nameere warning Muhoozi against interfering with NRM legislators. A longer version of the footage, however, showed that she was addressing Patriotic League of Uganda Secretary General Daudi Kabanda rather than Muhoozi, according to reports.

Muhoozi had also previously said that Nameere could be removed from Cabinet if she was “misbehaving,” while discussing possible changes to the government team.
The dispute has also drawn Kabanda into the matter. He has questioned Nameere’s election as Masaka City Woman MP and called for a by-election, according to reports.
As of Sunday morning, there was no publicly reported response from Nameere to the new 72-hour ultimatum.
The development comes as Nameere also faces an election petition challenging her victory in the Masaka City Woman MP race, with the case scheduled for hearing at Masaka High Court on September 22.
