Ghana’s new President invites Kizza Besigye as Uganda’s ‘leader’

Ghana’s new President invites Kizza Besigye as Uganda’s ‘leader’
Eazzy Banking

In a rather controversial move, the President-elect of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo has snubbed President Yoweri Museveni and invited opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye for his swearing-in on Saturday.

Besigye who infamously inaugurated himself as President despite losing the February 2016 elections by a big margin is expected to fly to Accra on Thursday night to join real heads of states who were invited by Akufo-Addo from Togo, Gabon, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Zambia, Benin, Nigeria and Guinea.

This was revealed by Besigye’s party, FDC’s Deputy Secretary General Harold Kaija on Thursday during a political talk show on NBS TV in Kampala.

Mr Kaija claimed that Akufo Addo’s New Patriotic Party which won the election, is one of FDC’s major African allies.

Akufo Addo gained 54% of the vote, while Mr Mahama took 44%. He had been defeated in the two previous elections.

Besigye apologists claim the four-time opponent of President Museveni received the invite as the recognised Head of State of Uganda and will be accorded this status while in Ghana. They also allege that Dr Besigye will be picked at the airport tarmac by the Ghanaian Presidential Security team from where he will be driven to the Flagship House, Ghana’s official Presidential Palace and office, for his three-day visit. Besigye might have won, in the eyes of his supporters, but he has no State.

Outgoing Ghana President John Mahama has been a key ally of President Museveni over the years.

Mahama has delivered his final state of the nation address today.

    Well done the People’s President of Ghana His Excellency Akufo. Africa will need this solidarity to fight the new breed of African dictators fathered by Mugabe and Museveni under the guise of Pan Africanism.

    I am just wondering why did the president-elect of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo snub Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and instead invite opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye? There is something to ponder about that

    Is it the earlier alleged friendship or just propaganda?Addo is just poking nose in Uganda’s politics unless he is the African head of state.so in which capacity will Besigye return to Uganda as the head of state or leader of opposition or will he be introduced as Uganda’s president.Anyhow i am watching carefully!!

    Its quite unbelievable but Ghana need to respect Uganda as a country. Now am just worried how he will be able to promote international relationship with Uganda government. His Foreign policy advisers never performed their duties. But as a peace loving Ugandan i hope their should a formal communication to the government of Uganda on why that happened.

    Uganda’s politics is something very confusing. If in other people’s opinion Dr. Byesigye won the previously concluded elections, why should he and his supporters seat back only to watch President Museven enjoy their rights. I have a feeling that since they(Byesigye and his supporters) are just quiet, they have no proof for their claimed victory. Its a sign of guilty geeks! Now hear comes another confused African President of Ghana, what is he thinking? Does he want to imagine being the leader of African presidents because of wining the Ghanian poll? Even Jesus was specific and knew his limitations. He said let people bring things that belong to God to God and those to King Faraou to Faraou. So, The Ghanian president elect should not think or at any one time imagine he understands Ugandan issues/ politics than we the Ugandans

    Sovereignity belongs to every country. Ghana is a sovereign country and no African country has the right to question its choice of delegates to its own sovereign events. So in this case Uganda was not invited and that must be respected. Hypocrites!

    Ghana is a model democracy in Africa. It has demonstrated that. Ghana is no place for election thieves. Soon, incompetent dictators like museveni will be in isolation. I look forward to seeing museveni in the dock responding to questions of election fraud. People like Joe will have fled

    Besigye was invited as an opposition leader whose party is founded on similar ideology just as Akufo Addo’s party. The presidential protocol did not invite the Ugandan dictator because Ghanaians don’t want to associate with Museveni and his government. Museveni is a bad signal to true Democrats. If you want to send away our diplomats as suggested by some Ugandans you can do so and we shall reciprocate……Long live Africa!

    The newly elected president of Ghana was 100% correct by inviting the people’s president of Uganda Instead of athief n dictator. He wanted to show some miopic ugandans the rightful ugandan president who is practically democratic than the other lumpen who mixes issues,ie,dictatorial than democratic. In fact that Ghanan president know uganda’s politics better than some ugandans who pretend to be knwing more n ok, yet they are badly off.

    Yes, indeed The real president of Uganda is Kizza Besigye. He was elected by the citizens thou there was rigging and forceful voice of leadership by NRM goons. Its quite appealing to see him go to Ghana for that wonderful event. Let’s respect that invitation and thank God its not a Ugandan thing so there won’t be any bribe to frustrate the invitation. Besigye will always be a Political pillar in Uganda, Africa and world wide unlike M7 who is ruling the chosen corrupt confused few Ugandans.
    Let be Besigye be…he deserves more than that. My president is Kizza Besigye.

    But how are some people wondering why Dr. Besigye was invited by the Ghana president leaving out Museveni? Is it a must that he was supposed to invite Museveni anyway? Ghana is an independent country so it can decide on what to do.

    museveni lost and have decided to remain in power by use of the gun,if truly president Besigye lost why did museveni keep him at his home and even locked him n stopped him to challenge him in court.presdent Besigy sworn him self in as presdent and dictator museveni arrested him but upon to now the old brat fears to open up a case against president Besigye because he knows he has no way of depressing him.if i have not forgotten,apart from countries headed by dictators like sudan,burundi among others but others which have no dictator didnt recogonise museveni simply because the know he didnt win the elections

    Ghana`s new president has tried to show that some Africa leaders are democrat.
