Sheema leaders have been warned against immature politics that are likely to cause them trouble.
The warning was sounded On Tuesday 23rd April 2019 at Clinka gardens Kabwohe town Sheema district by Dr Nicholas Mwebaze Mwebesa at his party after attaining a PHD in governance and regional integration from Pan African University, Cameroon at age of 36 Sheema district.
“Lets stop immature politics, you should know that disagreements and agreements are normal, therefore leaders stop concentrating only on your diehard supporters but also to your opponents. Lets learn to be open and broad to public no matter what percentage you love your political party or leader, you should be neutral,” Nicholas noted.

“You should know the people you lead religiously, culturally, academically and financially, make sure you involve them in all government programs or activities from the starting point, if people resist any activity in their society, don’t force them and never ambush people with your government activities no matter how best they are, first consult them before starting it and they agree or disagree,” Nicholas
In relation to Dr Nicholas’ words, recently on 17th April 2019 at Kashanjure primary school in Sheema district, Hon Jacklet Rwabukurukuru Atuhaire woman MP Sheema district warned her fellow leader David Kabigumira Chairman LC V Sheema district to stop his cheap politics of quarreling and attacking his fellow leaders in every function and revealing his strong hatred for his opponents through unnecessary words in public.
