National Unity Platform President and Kyadondo East legislator, Robert Sssentamu Kyagulanyi who is famously known as Bobi Wine has failed to campaign in Kitgum town due to police restrictions.
Bobi Wine said that on their way from Arua city at 3am in the morning, they found a roadblock at the entrance of the district and the officers there told them that they had instructions no tot let them campaign from Kitgum town.
“So, we got to Kitgum at 3:00am this morning and found a roadblock at the entrance to the district. They said they had orders for us not to step in the district at all.,” said Bobi in Facebook post.
He further added that; “Earlier, they had lied that our program was clashing with that of another candidate, until late in the night when we engaged the Electoral Commission.
“So, on arrival, they took us to a hotel owned by an NRM chairperson and said they had booked that place for us.
“They insisted we must address our people from a place far away from town and attempted to block us from proceeding to Kitgum.
“But the PEOPLE OF KITGUM resisted this illegal conduct and swarmed us.
“Consequently, we have not held our campaign meeting as planned, but the people of Kitgum spoke loud and clear!”
Bobi Wine is expected to campaign in Gulu city this afternoon but our sources say that there is already heavy security deployment around the city.
