Ever since Bobi Wine made his way to Uganda’s political scene, a lot of both amazing and annoying things have happened on the Uganda’s political space. Like the bible says in Psalms 118:22 that “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone”.
Because of his background, Bobi Wine was ridiculed, scorned and dismissed by many political pundits, observers and propagandist but not by Dr. Museveni. And this is when I started taking Bobi Wine very seriously as a political contender.
Whereas some of the pretentious and self-glorifying elites were dismissing him as a raw ghetto former drug addict who knew nothing about politics and leadership, Dr. Museveni was taking him as serious as his supporters in the ghettos whom he was inspiring. In fact, apart from propagandists, Dr. Museveni himself has never dismissed Robert Kyagulanyi. In fact he envies him.
Ever since 1986 when Dr. Museveni came to power, all those who tried to challenge his hold to power have probably used avenues he knows better and prefers the most; the military where he has high advantage and superior capabilities. For those who have tried to challenge him politically or democratically, have either been his agents or too weak to match the machinery of a fusion between state and Dr. museveni’s political nomenclature.
For the few who genuinely opposed and challenged him, they were striving to be as good as Dr. Museveni but not as good as themselves. In other words, they were using Dr. Museven’s political script for which only him knew the next episode.
On the contrary, Bobi Wine seem to have defied the norn and acted differently. He refused to play the politics as determined by and whose pace is set by Museveni himself; the reactionary one which the political players, observer and followers were accustomed to. Dr. Museveni and his cohorts tried hard to make people think that alone can’t remove or threaten him out of power. Museveni has stated it several times.
But no sooner had the people started believing it, then Bobi Wine appeared on the political scene with new energy fully recharged with new hope and new inspirations and different political mind game. This has style morale boosted and reassured the people that when it’s executed properly, Dr. Museveni can and will be defeated through the ballot.
Some players first cast doubts into this but everybody including the die hard NRM factionaries have eventually caved in to this possibility. The evidence to this node is the change of debate that nobody will hand over power to him forgetting that to gain power is a different fight, it begins with winning the race. And for this I give it to Bobi wine for refusing to engage in that debate; first things first.
Like a blacksmith who thinks every hard problem must be solved through heat and bang, Museveni is a military man who thinks every contest must be solved militarily. This is the reason his democracy has to be enforced by military assistants- THE GUN, to ensure and secure forced-consent.
He tried the same with Robert Kyagulanyi and it boomeranged in his face, so he realized it’s a risky venture with the young man because it dents him from his foreign backers. Having realized that his style of politics no longer convinces the people due to the repagnant nature and conduct of his policy makers and implementers (they say one thing but do the opposite) and as a result his spaces are shrinking every day, Dr. Museveni now wants to play politics as determined by Bobi Wine which in itself is exposing him as weakened and not the master planners that he used to portray;
Muze anapanga….. For example, Dr. Museveni has abandoned the POLITICS OF POLICY but responding Bobi’s POLITICS OF LIBERATION which is why many times Dr. Museveni finds himself publically criticizing his government officials whom he has power to call to account.
Secondly, Bobi Wine has forced Dr. Museveni to play politics not like the political tactitcian that Ugandans think he is, but as an amateur musician ghetto boy turned politcian that he wants to portray Bobi Wine. For example, Dr. Museveni has been bankrolling some musicians and celebrities to try to counter Bobi Wine’s political activities.
Museveni started with Brian white who splashed money everywhere until he went into obluvion, he then tried it with Bebe Cool to counter the crowd pulling stances of Bobi Wine until he was shocked when he received bottles full of human waste, he then gambled by appointed Kusasira as his presidential advisor in-charge of Kampala youth.
The excitement led her into confrontation with the no nonsense Gen. kasirye Gwanga. Events manager Balam among others. When all these were not realizing any political dividends, Dr. Museveni himself decided to register as a musician and rumors are that he has recorded a single-hit which he will launch soon. As if that is not enough, he decided to appoint Bobi Wines former closet friend, Buchaman as his presidential Advisor in charge of the Ghetto affairs (of course making Dr. Museveni the most advised president in the world) . all this is concrete evidence that Dr. Museveni is still far from having his finger on the magic button that would neutralize the Bobi phenomenon.
Even the activities of vicious propagandist like Andrew Mwenda, my brother Ofwono Opondo, some RDCs, etc have not yielded much.
The Bobi Wine-determined politics has forced Dr. Museveni into social media political engagements like on Facebook, twitter etc something Bobi Wine seems to have superior capability over. He now even wants to call himself “man of the Ghetto” so as he looks like Bobi Wine the “real Ghetto gladiator”.
All these indicate the weight of the Bobi wine and the failure of Dr. Museveni’s strategists in countering the young man they have attempted to portray as a mere drug addict.
Unfortunately, i see Dr. Museveni again falling into a trap laid to him by Bobi Wine by resorting to use the military, men in police uniform and LDU paramilitary to brutalise the citizen. In my humble opinion, the violence meted against Makarere students was a rehearsal about what is going to be done during the campaign but it might be counterproductive.
How can’t all the (mis)advisers not even detect when now all the atrocities are being attributed to Gen. Muzeyi and not Elder Ochola.
AAAAAA….I need more popcorns. This Bobi wine is a REAL WINE that seems to have put the entire NRM machinery into disarray ..

President Museveni has directed the military to vacate from Makerere University, ordering the police to handle the stand-off at the University.
Museveni’s order comes shortly after speaking to various stakeholders at the university including Guild president Mr. Julius Katerega.
Early today in the morning, Julius Katerega through his official Facebook page confirmed that he had held a phone conversation with the president to brief him on the status quo at the Hill and on the demands of the governed. However, he alleges that the president had been fed on falsehoods by some elements of University Management.

This development follows the US gov’t statement it issued condemning the violence of security services they used to attacked unarmed students to quell the protests that broke out last week challenging the 15% tuition increment.
Singer Eddy Kenzo has been in the news for close to a month ever since motor mouthed Muslim Sheikh Nuhu Muzaata called him a love niga who failed to officially launch his bonking sessions with song bird Rema Namakula who moved on with her personal gynecologist Dr Hamza Ssebunya who is set to wed her early next month.
After calling on state house officials to intervene in his issues with Muzaata who refused to apologize to Eddy Kenzo over reckless statements he uttered during the ‘kukyala’ function for Ssebunya and Rema, the president of Love Nigaz Eddy Kenzo has revealed to his fans on Twitter that President Museveni has invited him to state house.
We can’t verify whether the president has invited the System Volongotosinger to congratulate him for winning an award in the US recently or to convince him join his camp ahead of the 2021 elections.

Kyadondo East Legislator Honourable Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi wine declined to comment on the Buchaman’s meeting with President Museveni citing that he can’t say anything about Buchaman because he is not in his league but he can only respond to the president.
“I have said it and I will always say it, that I don’t give time to irrelevant issues. When I’m to reply, I respond to Museveni my fellow leader not my fellow poor people,” Bobi Wine noted.
The legislator made the remarks while addressing journalist today Monday morning at Buganda road Court where he was responding to questions from journalists.
Over the weekend President Museveni paid visit to the ghetto youths in areas of Katwe and neighboring places and in attendance who met with the president was former singing partener in ‘Fire base crew’ Mark Bugembe alias Buchaman
Asked on people’s decision, Bobi Wine noted that he only represents the voices and aspirations of ghetto people and therefore he doesn’t own anyone in the ghetto.
“We welcome him to the ghetto but he should know that what we need in the ghetto is freedom, liberty, we want justice and not those handouts,” he explained.
Bobi Wine also noted that its surprising to see the government suddenly remembering the ghetto that it had abandoned for years.
“We grew up in the ghetto when everybody was referring to us as thugs and vagabond but later the Ghetto has uplifted its people like us who have aired out its concerns”
The legislator was quick to add that he has no problem with swapping ghetto positions with President Museveni.
