Religious Lessons Made Me President-Museveni says

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Sunday returned to his old church in Mbarara town to specifically thank God for enabling him to live a long life.

“I came here to thank God who has enabled me to live this long,” Museveni told the congregation that gathered at St. Luke Kinoni Church of Uganda in Mbarara on Sunday to commemorate 70 years of his baptism.

“I also thank all those that joined my family to celebrate this day. It is a milestone to celebrate 70 years of baptism in Christ.”

Kaguta was baptised on August 3, 1947 by Rev. Eric Sabiiti, who later became Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Boga Zaire.

“I was interested in this commemoration so that I would share my history, especially with the youth,” he said.

Museveni who was accompanied by his members and parishioners of St. Luke Kinoni Church, said his parents were pioneer Christians in the area even though his wider family was still predominantly aligned to traditional beliefs.

He emphasise the fact that the Church and other religious institutions build a person’s character. The president said religious instruction enables one to navigate through life.

“To know what is evil and what is right, what is good and what is bad. Societies that have abandoned religion have not fared well.”

The president called upon the youth to take religion seriously, saying the foundation he got from the church during and after baptism has played a big role in what he has been able to do later in life, including becoming a President.
