As the battle for the 2021 general elections draws closer, the man behind the People Power campaign, Kyadondo East MP, Robert Kyagulanyi has said President Museveni’s stay in power is numbered.
Mr Kyagulanyi popularly known as Bobi Wine made his first return to Arua since the August 13 saga that led to his arrest and torture, for the thanksgiving ceremony of Arua Municipality MP, Mr Kassiano Wadri on Sunday.
“I tell you (Museveni), your days are numbered. How can you say you went to the bush and fought for democracy yet you don’t even practise it in your NRM (National Resistance Movement) party even after 33 years?” Mr Kyagulanyi said.
Last week, the NRM MPs at Kyankwanzi retreat, endorsed Mr Museveni as a sole candidate for the 2021 elections, pitting him to rule further.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Museveni, 74, said he was ready to rule “Uganda into 2021 and beyond.”
Mr Kyagulanyi, who announced his intention to run for presidency in 2021 general elections, asked the crowd in Arua to register for national identification cards so that they can be eligible to participate in 2021 elections and protect the votes like they did in last year’s Arua Municipality by-election.
“I ask you to have that same courage and be firm. Be assertive to your rights. Do the same like we did in August last year,” Mr Kyagulanyi said.
Bobi Wine’s Facebook Post
Today we went back back to #Arua for the first time ever since the 13th of August last year when we were brutally arrested and tortured by the state.
Once again we thank our comrade Hon Kasiano Wadri for organising an amazing thanks giving ceremony.
The people of Arua once again stood firm amidst all the insane military and police deployment and showed up in large numbers chanting #PeoplePower_OurPower.
Arua, We can never take your love for granted and will always hold you in high regard.
