Matovu, Please do not insist of portraying your ignorance and self deceit so shamelessly. UPC never recognised Ujukwu's Biafra though was admittedly involved in trying to solve the crisis in Nigeria. Secondly being overthrown by a small group of armed men has never been a sign of unpopularity just as shooting ones way to power and suppressing organised opposition has never been proof of popularity.
We shall surely see how much support UPC has in a free and fair competitive multiparty elections, that is when you Movementists gather enough courage to face the people only with ideas and programmes on a level playing field.

Dont be fooled. UPC for instance had recognised Emenkwa Ojukwu's biafra to break away from the federal republic of Nigeria. Is that to you pan africanism? UPC only thrived on deceit and dividing the people and whne they were found out, they were thrown out not once but twice.
