Museveni, Janet Welcome Bishop Osborn to State House Ahead of Pastor Patience Rwabwogo’s Consecration

What the report says

President Yoweri Museveni and First Lady Janet Museveni hosted international evangelist Bishop LaDonna C. Osborn at State House Entebbe ahead of the consecration of Pastor Patience Rwabwogo as a bishop, according to Nile Post. Rwabwogo is the Musevenis’ daughter, and the event places Uganda’s first family alongside prominent religious figures at a significant church milestone.

The report says Osborn was in Uganda for the consecration and used the visit to revisit a relationship with the country that dates back to the 1980s. She reportedly recalled her first trip in 1985 with her late mother, an evangelist who ministered in Uganda during a difficult period in the country’s history. Janet Museveni also reflected on that earlier connection, saying Osborn’s mother had prayed with the family and given the children their first Bibles.

The State House meeting also served as a moment to acknowledge broader ties between the Osborn family and Uganda through Christian ministry and friendship. Museveni welcomed Osborn back to the country and wished Rwabwogo well before her consecration, describing it as an important step in her ministry. The occasion highlights the overlap of religion, family and public life in Uganda, while also underscoring long-running links between the Osborn family and the Museveni household.
