Panicky Bobi Wine Leads Thin Masaka Procession After Museveni Massive Tour

1 Mins read

Last week, President Yoweri Museveni sent shockwaves in the opposition when he held a massive three-day tour of greater Masaka.

The tour which saw him hold two engagements with leaders in the sub-region at Masaka Liberation Square, was organised as part of his Presidential Tour of the region to preach his gospel according to wealth creation.

Following the highly successful tour that also saw him head to the Island district of Kalangala where he was given a warm reception, political pundits opined that President Museveni has reclaimed the sub-region where he lost heavily in the last general elections.

Now, in an apparent attempt to show that they still wield political muscle, opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) party president Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, on Wednesday, tried to lead a procession that was largely shunned.

Photos shared on his Twitter account are a far cry from the crowds that greeted his failed Presidential bid.

In many of the photos, many people can seen gazing at the thin procession which sources could have had his supporters from Kampala who accompanied him for the funeral.

Bobi who was from a burial in the area will probably have to rethink his strategy for Masaka now that Museveni seems to be making significant inroads in reclaiming the region.

In Kalangala, Museveni used the opportunity to rally greater Masaka residents to avoid being swept by mysterious political waves, a jibe many say was aimed at NUP. ONC headed by SPA Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo organised the rally.
