Pastor Aloysius Bujjingo has revealed that he did not have romantic feelings for Susan Makula at first; these feelings developed over time.
According to Bujjingo, his initial connection with Makula was purely spiritual, as he prayed for her during a challenging period in her life.
“It’s odd, considering I had no interest in her,” he said during a sermon.
“I was the one praying for her. She had a lot of problems, and in the midst of all that, she had decided never to date again.”
While narrating the story, the controversial pastor invited Makula to the pulpit and recounted the moment he realised he wanted to marry her. "I just decided one day that I wanted to marry her. I saw wisdom in her," he said.
The couple’s relationship has always been unconventional. Makula, who was a single mother when she met Bujjingo, previously shared how she made it clear she was not after his wealth during their courtship .
Makula explained that despite facing financial struggles, she rejected financial help from the pastor to ensure he saw her true intentions.
“I made it difficult for the pastor. I refused his money, even though I wanted it, because I didn’t want him to think I was after his wealth,” Makula admitted.
“At the time, I was living in a rental for Shs100,000. I had a salary, but I also had a lot of responsibilities, including raising my son. I wanted to show him that my love wasn’t for sale. Money wasn’t going to make me his wife.”
She added that her aim was to discover other qualities in Pastor Bujjingo that would sustain their relationship beyond financial security.
“I told him, ‘Don’t use money to win me. Show me there’s something about you, beyond your wealth, that will keep me around even when the money is gone.’”
The couple has always been open about their relationship. In 2024, Pastor Bujjingo announced that a wedding was being planned, though he refrained from confirming a specific date.
