President Museveni’s daughter, Patience Rwabwogo has said a bank almost sold their house after they fell behind on their mortgage payments.
Without disclosing the bank, Patience told her followers at her Covenant Nations Church that it was God who intervened through his mysterious ways and they found money to clear the bank loan.
“It was 18 years ago. We had just brought our home in Buziga. It was our first home. We bought it and paid a down payment and had a loan on the balance. We were paying the loan with income from our businesses. At some point we had our struggles in our business and we went behind in our mortgage and the interest started piling and one day we got a letter from the bank and bank said if you don’t pay the interest and also bring your account upto current within seven days we are going to advertise your house,” she said.
She said when they got the bank letter, their fears multiplied 100 times but “by the grace of God,” they got the money and not only cleared the debt but also serviced their loan in seven years instead of the 25 years they had agreed.
“What would have happened if God had told me ‘Go and do this’ and I said no. We could have missed our breakthrough because of this fear,” she said as her congregants clapped thunderously.
Yet the average reader may wonder how a daughter of a powerful president could have reached the edge of life without her father’s intervention. In fact some people on social media speculated that the ‘god’ Pateince was referring to was his father.
Patience is married to senior presidential advisor Odrek Rwabwogo.
