Musician Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, aka Bobi Wine, on Tuesday paid a
courtesy visit to incarcerated Forum for Democratic Change
Presidential candidate, Dr Kizza Besigye, at his home in Kansangati outside Kampala.
Bobi Wine didn’t go just to dine and wine with the Opposition leader, for whom he has made his support known, but also had a plea for FDC to spare fellow musicians, who supported President Museveni, from the boycott the party announced on Monday.
In what was termed as a “Free-my-vote” campaign, FDC asked supporters
to “Stay-At-Home” every Thursday and wear black clothing or ribbons
every Tuesday to show solidary with Dr Besigye who is under house arrest.
In the campaign announced by FDC spokesperson Ibrahim Ssemujju, the party also asked supporters to ostracize artistes who supported Mr Museveni and his ruling National Resistance Movement.
Shortly after the meeting with Dr Besigye, the self-proclaimed Ghetto-President, posted on his Facebook wall that he had discussed a wide range of issues with Uganda’s main Opposition leader. According to Bobi Wine, a boycott against any artiste’s music would create dis-harmony among the fraternity of entertainers.
