The Aruu County Member of Parliament, Hon Odonga Otto has said that Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu commonly known as Bobi Wine is an amateur in politics therefore he should forget about becoming the president of Uganda.
He said that Bobi Wine is not well conversant with national issues for him to take up the leadership of this country.
He made the remarks while appearing on one of the local television stations on Monday.
“I had a one-on-one with Bobi Wine. I wanted to know what was in his mind. I think he is not yet ready to be President. We talked monetary policy, Fiscal policy to see whether would go left or right. I asked what he would do for the pharmaceutical industry,” he said.
Otto noted that after testing the mind and thinking capacity of Bobi Wine, the legislator can’t be the president of this country.
He noted that he got disappointed on the way the Bobi Wine who is seeking to be the president on this country responded to some of his questions.
“Personally, if I were President, I would close private pharmacies, pay all doctors Shs20m and make government hospitals viable. Government can’t compete with private but He (Bobi Wine) can’t even see either side†he said.
He stressed that Bobi Wine is an amateur politician. “It is a very risky business for anyone to think that Bobi Wine can be President though he is very popular.”
He said it’s another sure win for President Yoweri Museveni come 2021 general elections.
“If I place a barometer on the ground, President Museveni will rig election massively.
In my village, DISOs, RDCs and all are deployed. rigging isn’t actual ticking,” he said.
He said though Bobi Wine will put a tough resistance in the coming general elections, this will not stop President Museveni from winning.
“So, I see Museveni declared winner, I am not saying, I see him winning. Status quo will continue and I know Bobi Wine will put a stiff resistance,†he noted
He said Bobi Wine should seek advice and also learn from the former presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye who has been in the struggle for quite a long time.
“He seemed to have not learned from Besigye. He is doing the same thing Besigye did. It’s not a nice thing but he needs to be encouraged,” he said.
