Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has told off people who have been asking to mediate the tension between him and the country’s opposition.
Museveni made the remarks on Wednesday during the launch of Uganda’s clinical trial for the treatment of COVID-19.
“Imagine, some people have been coming here, that they want to mediate between me and the opposition, mediate what? I dont want any mediation, everybody knows my address… i know the address of these opposition people, i can drive there and we talk. I dont need any mediation,” Museveni said.
He added, “It’s an insult to tell me of mediation.”
Museveni, however, did not mention the people who have been asking to meditate between him and the opposition.
Uganda is emerging from a grueling electoral process that saw Museveni win a sixth term in office, after defeating musician turned politician, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
