Museveni, Kikwete for Nyerere sainthood

PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni and his Tanzanian counterpart, Jakaya Kikwete, have supported the crusade to declare former Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere a saint.

The two presidents yesterday attended a special service for Nyerere at the Namugongo Martyrs’ Shrine and testified to his goodness, which they said should qualify him for sainthood.

“I am a witness to Nyerere’s devotion. The Bible is clear. It says we shall know them by their fruits not by their words. Tanzania is a country of Christians, Muslims and animists but Mwalimu (Nyerere) was able to unite them by demonstrating that they are all children of God,” Museveni said. ........Will the same be said about you, Mr. President?

“We should continue praying that Nyerere reaches the next stage of being declared blessed of God, and then saint,” he said. ........Transfer this zeal to the fight against corruption

All those in favour of Saint Museveni say aye....

..was that a pin drop?
