President Yoweri Museveni has warned those tired of his leadership that he’s not about retire until the problems of development and security on the African continent have been fully solved.
The president said not even ”petty issues” like elections will force him out of power without seeing a better situation on continent. Museveni, who has been Uganda president for the last 32 years and counting, was speaking at the Interparty Organization for Dialogue (IPOD) summit at Speke Resort, Munyonyo.
Museveni alluded to the fact that, the lack of strong leaders like himself, nearly led to the wiping out of Africa some years back by the colonialists and to the current problems that the continent is facing. Museveni said there is almost no alternative leadership because even the existing opposition on the continent and particularly Uganda, only engages in “petty” and “small” issues like elections.
”The political class, instead of talking about the destiny of Africa, you’re talking about petty things – elections – who comes in. That is why I have said, if I still have strength, I will put my point of view – not to retire when Africa, when the original issues of why Africa nearly perished are not addressed. And you’re just addressing small things – elections.” he said.
