The event, which comes up on Wednesday at the Independence Grounds in Kampala, will be Museveni’s sixth inauguration as a democratically-elected leader.

Museveni was declared winner of the January 14, 2021, election after defeating National Unity Platform’s candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine.

Nigeria and Uganda share cultural, social and economic similarities.

Both countries enjoy good diplomatic relationship, including working together as member-states of the Commonwealth, the African Union, and the United Nations, among others.

The two countries have signed Bilateral Agreements on Technical Aid Corps, Trade, and on Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation.

Osinbajo is accompanied on the trip by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Amb. Zubairu Dada, and the Special Adviser on Economic Matters to the President, Amb. Adeyemi Dipeolu.

Obama warned that the move would complicate US relations with Uganda and would be a step backward for all Ugandans.

The warning came after Museveni said he would sign the bill into law, following an explanation by medical experts that homosexuality is not genetic.

The US president said “once the anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda becomes a law, it will be more than an affront and a danger to the gay community in that country.

“It will be a step backward for all Ugandans and will reflect poorly on Uganda’s commitment to protect the rights of the people.

“People should be treated equally and should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, no matter who they are or whom they love,’’ Obama said.
