National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi isn’t apologetic for sowing seeds of ethnic divisions, but rather ready to repeat same remarks should he be summoned by Uganda Police.
The investigative body of Police- CID has picked interest in Bobi Wine’s speech he made while addressing the people of Luweero district last week.
Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine who has been moving freely addressing his supporters across the country, used foul language while making hair raising and scathing remarks pitting President Yoweri Museveni and Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba against the Baganda ethnic group.
Kyagulanyi alleged that President Museveni in his 30 years in power has sidelined and has never wished Buganda well, a revelation that aroused backlash from various leaders across the country denouncing Bobi Wine’s hate speech and politics of identity.
Political and security leaders cautioned Bobi Wine to desist from making unwarranted sectarian utterances that could slip the country into anarchy.
He was advised as a leader to address issues rather than tribes.
Even the elite who feel sidelined and look at Bobi Wine as their representation have since distanced themselves from his speech he made while addressing the people of Luweero, where Museveni and his group of bush war fighters convened to launch the successive NRA guerrilla war that catapulted into liberation of Uganda in 1980.
Addressing his supporters in Hoima Bobi Wine said he was aware of plan by security to intimidate him with summons to prevent him from spreading the message.
“I heard they want to summon me to explain to them what I have been saying. I am imploring you to post whatever I am saying now on social media so that they can hear before I even go there. When they summon me, I will walk on foot and go and say the exact words,” Bobi Wine said.
He added that President Yoweri Museveni, “should know that we don’t fear you, you lied to our parents, but you can’t lie to us because we are more knowledgeable. We are young and brilliant. We don’t fear you because we are from the ghetto.”
