During a question session after a lecture by Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Hillary Seguya, a Ugandan student at Harvard University left the entire room in laughter when he boldly told the Ghanaian President that he would exchange President Yoweri Museveni for him.
“Thank you so much Your Excellency Nana for that wonderful pan-African speech. I’m very sure beyond doubt that our great ancestors Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela Madiba, … are very positive about what you’ve talked about. My name is Seguya Hillary Innocent Taylor. I am a Ugandan and I’m doing my master’s in international relations here at Harvard. I wish we could exchange you for our Ugandan president, Dictator Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who has been in power for 33 years and we are telling him enough is enough,” Seguya openly said.
Seguya who is currently pursuing a Masters’ Degree in International Relations made the controversial statements shortly after a lecture held at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics and Harvard University’s Centre for African Studies under the theme “Empowering the Youth, Africa’s golden future”.
Seguya was however not allowed to proceed with his conversation, shortly after portraying president Museveni as a dictator.
The lecture was part of Akufo’s nine-day trip to the US and Cuba.
