The President of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni implored the youth in the country to embrace patriotism and Pan-Africanism as part of their development path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made the call during a reception to mark the 50th wedding anniversary of the former prime minister Amama Mbabazi and his wife Jacqueline Mbabazi at Serena Hotel in Kampala. The event brought together top government officials and religious leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event, attended by family, friends, and comrades, paid tribute to the couple\u2019s unwavering commitment to their nation. President Museveni\u2019s speech echoed the sentiments of the gathering. He praised the Mbabazis’ for their enduring contributions to Uganda\u2019s struggle for freedom and reorientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn her I saw a companion for life, someone who could shoulder\u00a0 the burdens of our struggle and nurture a family. It was this\u00a0 unwavering strength and indomitable spirit that drew me to her\u00a0 and together we embarked on a journey, a journey that has\u00a0 weathered storms.\u201d\u00a0Museveni said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president highlighted Amama Mbabazi\u2019s pivotal role in the resistance. From recruiting 28 individuals to form FRONASA\u2014an elite force\u2014to leading a 9,000-strong contingent during the capture of Kampala, his legacy remains etched in Uganda\u2019s past and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mbabazi was acting in the play as a father and believes he must have done a good job. According to him, something about the grey hair for the role of father seemed to have excited the girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0Back in those days, the postal service was very good and people corresponded with each other by writing letters. Mbabazi did such a fantastic job at the acting that some girls at Bweranyangi wrote him \u201capplication letters\u201d to be friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former Prime Minister, Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda also congratulated Mbabazi and his wife for reaching the\u00a0 milestone and thanked them for being dependable and reliable\u00a0 friends.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m also happy that Ndugu Amama is now carrying out\u00a0 responsibilities especially on the African and global scene on\u00a0 behalf of our country again handed to him by President Museveni\u00a0 because he knows his capacity and ability to be able to effectively\u00a0 address those issues.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Rugunda said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
