Raimundo Pereira: I secretly would like to be __ for a day?

Bissau maintains June 28 for poll despite killings.

BISSAU, June 9 (Reuters) - Guinea-Bissau will hold a presidential election on June 28 as planned, the nation’s interim leader said on Tuesday, a week after the killings of two senior politicians cast doubt over the poll.

Cast Doubt? It would be if last Halloween, they killed Cheney and Condoleezza.  Pereira became interim leader in March after the assassination of then President Joao Bernardo Vieira. “As for the murders last week, the government says Dabo and Proenca were plotting a coup to overthrow interim president Pereira and kill the new army chief navy commander Jose Zamora Induta and prime minister Carlos Gomes Junior. They were killed when soldiers came to arrest them, the authorities claim.”
Pereira seems like a nice guy and all and who wouldn’t want to be president for a day but it doesn’t seem like you’d get much sleep at nights!
