The President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni while speaking during a live television broadcast, has vowed to leave power only when the East African region is united. The President has said that he had a duty to protect black people and to ensure they embraced unity.
“I am not a fanatic of presidency. If you want to survive, you blacks,
you must work for African unity and for pan-Africanism. How will you survive
against Britain, China and India? These are becoming superpowers,” Museveni
said. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer said his aim was to
unite Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania under one single sovereign
state through the East African Federation. Museveni has been in power for
three decades.
He intends to
seek another term when Ugandans go to the polls on February 18. One of his main
rivals in the upcoming polls, Forum for Democratic Change leader Kizza Besigye,
recently made a bold statement, stating that he had accumulated significant
support that could lead to his victory.
