Yoweri Kaguta Museveni ( pronunciation ;
born 15 August c. 1944) is a Ugandan
politician who has been President of Uganda
since 29 January 1986.
Museveni was involved in rebellions that
toppled Ugandan leaders Idi Amin (1971–79)
and Milton Obote (1980–85). With the notable
exception of the north, President Museveni has
brought relative stability and economic growth
to a country that has endured decades of rebel
activity and civil war. His tenure has also
witnessed one of the most effective national
responses to HIV/AIDS in Africa.
In the mid to late 1990s, Museveni was fêted
by the West as part of a new generation of
African leaders. His presidency has been
marred, however, by involvement in civil war in
the Democratic Republic of Congo and other
Great Lakes region conflicts. Rebellion in the
north by the Lord's Resistance Army had
perpetuated a drastic humanitarian emergency.
Restrictions on political pluralism and a 2005
referendum and constitution change scrapping
limits on presidential terms, enabling extension
of his rule, have attracted recent concern from
domestic commentators and the international
community.

Crown Prince Abdullah
has been the acting
leader of Saudi Arabia since his half-brother,
King Fahd, suffered a stroke in 1995. Saudi
Arabia is one of the only nations that holds no
elections whatsoever. The royal family has
promised municipal elections soon but has not
announced whether women will be allowed to
vote. In fact, it is forbidden for unrelated Saudis
of the opposite sex to appear in public together,
even inside a taxi.

. Please educate the Barbie doll. Cheap data is a curse u know. Lol

It is your post that is hoax.

Orubebe drama happened around 12noon

Jonathan called Buhari 17:15pm, five hours later.


The call had nothing to do with dowsing the consequence of Orubebe drama escalating.

If anything, a better inference is that, Jonathan conceded when the Orubebe gameplan didn't work.

The post is not just a hoax, it is a good work of political fiction.

helinues:
When Orubebe took to the floor yesterday to disrupt proceedings at the Collation centre, I feared for the worst. Just imagine what would have happened if one or two of the security men had forcefully tried to remove him. He would have fought them off, the other PDP agents would have come to his defense and the police would have been called in to remove everyone using teargas.

That would have been the end of it. In the ensuing melee, the result sheets would have disappeared and all hell would have broke loose.

State of emergency would have been declared and we would be talking about elections in two years time or more depending on how subsequent events panned out.

I don't even want to imagine the pogroms that would have ensued? In 1962, the case of disruption of proceedings in the Western Region House of Assembly led to the state of emergency which led to the January 1966 coup and this lead to the northern counter-coup and eventually the tragic civil war.

Yesterday, Godsday Orubebe nearly threw Nigeria into such a turmoil again but President Goodluck Jonathan averted it.

What transpired in the Presidential Villa was this: when the outcome of the election began to turn against President Goodluck Jonathan, many Hawks in government and in PDP started pressurizing him to step in and turn the tide via manipulation and State power. He refused.

I know someone who knelt down with tearful eyes asking him to act like an African President and jettison this European idea of gentlemanism. PGEJ refused to intervene.

When President Jonathan's attention was drawn to what Orubebe was doing on TV, he quickly asked one of his aide to get him General Buhari immediately on the phone. Contrary to reports that GEJ was watching the programme, the man left others to watch it and went to sleep. The trending picture of him with Abdusalami purportedly watching the event is a big hoax. That picture was taken during the peace-accord drive of Gen. Abdulsalami before the election.

President Jonathan quickly called Gen. Buhari to congratulate him even before the collation officially ended because he wanted to pull the sail on the antics of his Hawkish supporters. If he hadn't done that they would have used his influence to do something foolish. It was Okonjo Iweala that called President Jonathan to intimate him of Orubebe's actions.

I have been battling tears ever since I learnt what happened. If only Nigerians knew that many Hawkish PDP stalwart and top government officers stormed out angrily on this humble President when they learnt he had called Gen. Buhari to concede defeat, claiming that he betrayed them. One Northern ally of his even called him weak. That call was what saved the day. Orubebe was told of the call and he quietly walked away, allowing collation proceedings to continue.

GEJ made that call to Buhari around 16:15 hours.

Only the Doves remained with President Jonathan. Many of the Hawks are still not speaking to him even now.

General Abdulsalami and other African Statesmen were still pondering how to douse the expected mayhem and they placed a call to Gen. Buhari to plead with him to restrain his supporters and to tell him they were preparing to go and meet President Jonathan to call his Hawkish associates to order when Gen. Buhari told them not to bother that PGEJ has already called him and conceded defeat. Everyone was stunned beyond word.

.....Story....16:19 ?....True?

That means some selfish politicians pushed him into vieing for second tenure which is against his wish.

Kudos to PGEJ for his humble decision and wisdom

bishopjoe02:


let me help you with another example. have you watch cnn lately. . the West is about signing a deal with Iran over is nuclear program. .

what do you know about Iranian concessions? seems you just started watching TV, lol

@woodcook, ur claim to knowledge of international affairs is right only to some extent.however I cannot ignore the hurry with which u tried to reduce my mental capabilities. Damn bro, u v got nerve!

Anyway, now we would never know how d int'l community would have responded to a crisis in naija.however, be sure that US have done post mortem on their interventions, or lack of intervention, and decided to take pre-emptive steps by getting boots on ground in Ghana, Sudan and Cameroon, and carriers around our waters, while the drone base in Niger would hv provided needed Intel. These would have played a key role had things gone bad.

Crisis in naija would have affected world oil prices.High oil prices trigerred economic meltdown in 2008 or so, remember? Securing naija would have been like securing their economy!

Tell me more.

woodcook:


I think you and @zomoears should pick some books and read on what the foreign policies of the international communities are and what they have actually be doing in the past decades.

I am not saying what the op wrote was correct neither can I disprove it but given that you believed that USA would have send in troop into Nigeria soil shows you lot really do not know how the real world works. Please stop twitting and following every celebrity news, invest your time in reading books, meaningful books.

If there were to be crisis in Nigeria those USA troops would first evacuates its citizens, set up a buffer zone for humanitarian crisis, while they use their drones to monitor events on ground. While France will set hers along Cameroonian border since Cameroon happens to be his golden goose.

Sure they would have put pressure on Nigeria government, from sanction to arming opposition and even providing them intels. Maybe down the road after accessing the situation they might assist whomever seems to foster their cause with air raids. But thinking that USA or France will deploy troops to Nigeria is a big joke. With their "lean" military budget and the backlash that came with their last military intervention in Libya etc I doubt if Nigeria is worth stressing over with troop deployment.

I enjoyed the part you mentioned setting up a buffer zone for humanitarian intervention, have you asked yourself where humanitarian funds come from?

A population of 170m in crisis, how much will provide humanitarian assistance for them?
The answer will show you that America will do whatever is necessary to stop the crisis from the onset before it gets out of control.
Jonathan knew this much, you are the only one deluding yourself.

Elxandre:

I wonder how old this children are that they can't remember what mugabe did when he glaringly manipulated results election result years ago.
Naive people!

you are still saying the same thing,the heroic thing about what jonathan did is to accept defeat without waiting for UN to come in or loosing in court,that's why cnn map out few presidents who has done so, its a big deal bro

Dexema:


Bros u too much,not everybody knows what's going on behind the scenes xcept for counting/collation of votes.
Pgej took the best option to avert a “gbagbo“ scene playing out. Much respect to him for preventing nationwide protests,violence and possibly killings.

Thumbs up bro

@woodcook, those measures u speak of are reserved for small nations with little or no oil.
The number of subscribers on Mtn network in Nigeria alone is more than d total population of Ghana!Botswana as a country don't have a population up to Kogi state.

These guys are 2-faced, double standard bastards who think only of their interests. You should know this since you are the well-read expert on international affairs...

But Orubebe incident happened in afternoon and PGEJ call to Buhari was around 5:15pm. How was the message passed to Orubebe that makes him to quietly walked away?

How many nations get a memo before troop deployment?

We are talking about Nigeria a country with no defence pact with any super power?
A country whose poorer neighbours trample upon? You are right on US evacuating her citizens but does it always end there?

Libya after evacuation realized that the US embassy in Libya was a CIA satellite work station, The US Ambassador to Libya at the time was a double of an Ambassador and a spy station chief.

lolzzzzzzz, Jonathan really knows when to save his Otuoke arse!!
He can only imagine what will happen to him and folks like you will gladly let your jaws drop.

Why do you think the west extracted a signed commitment from him in the name of a "peace agreement"?

That document was the only thing the west need to put a gag on his feet, If Saddam could be humbled, Gaddafi murdered, who is Jonathan?

Jonathan saved his arse cos he knows what was gonna come his way.
People like you think he has a choice, I dey laugh! !!.

Your assertion is not entirely in place. First US has stopped buying Nigerian's oil. Secondly if crisis in Nigeria will lead to increase in oil price the two possible effect on US economy are:1. it will make shale oil profitable again, hence the need for the US to keep producing at a profit. 2. The increase in oil price will give Russian room to wriggle out of its dire financial situation as a result of sanction and falling oil price.
