FIFTY mobilisers claiming to be from presidential candidates Col. Kizza Besigye and Aggrey Awori in Koboko on Wednesday crossed to President Yoweri Museveni's camp, writes Vision Reporter. The Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Francis Ayume, who is also the area MP commended the group "for choosing the correct route for Uganda's prosperity." Ayume appealed to the rest of Ugandans to follow the example. Addressing a rally in Chakulia Parish, Ludala sub-county, Ayume received Awori's influential co-ordinator, Mr. Brahan Buga who crossed with his entire parish task force. Buga told Ayume that they had realised it was only candidate Yoweri Museveni who had the vision to develop and unite Ugandans. He said Museveni allowed them to return from exile and resettled them in their homes. Ends
