Kampala/Ankole — The Inter-Party Cooperation presidential flag bearer has told the people of Ankole not to get frightened that President Museveni would arrest him, saying "he knows how to fight for himself."
Dr Kizza Besigye, who is currently campaigning in the western region, attempted to allay fears by residents that Mr Museveni would arrest him before the February 18 presidential elections. He asked residents to work hard and change the current political system which he says has "compounded majority of them into economic slavery." "This Besigye you see before you here knows how to fight for himself," he said, adding: "Even if Museveni takes me to Luzira, I will come out. If he sprays teargas on me, I will walk through it, and I can even go into exile today and come back tomorrow. This Besigye cannot be knocked down easily."
