Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu has called on people to support Arsenal as a way of keeping the legacy of the late King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV alive.
Kaziimba made the remarks while speaking to mourners at St. John’s Cathedral in Kabarole, the same church where King Oyo was baptized in 1992.
In a light moment during the service, Kaziimba encouraged mourners to support the London-based football club, which was also one of King Oyo’s favourite teams.
King Oyo supported local teams but above all, he supported Arsenal. So if you want to follow his legacy, support Arsenal, all of you.

The Archbishop also joked about how Arsenal’s recent good run came during the period when the King was unwell.
I felt so bad because ever since he fell ill, Arsenal has been winning, beating Chelsea, Napoli… I missed him a lot. He would be jubilating with me and the Katikkiro of Buganda.
Kaziimba described King Oyo as a hardworking and loving monarch, saying his passing was a great loss to the people of Tooro and Uganda.
“It’s a great loss to lose such a hardworking and loving King,” he added.
