“We Made Bobi Wine Who He Is Today, He Should Stop Bad Mouthing Us” Democratic Alliance Breaks Silence with Bold Statement

A storm is brewing within Uganda’s opposition after the Democratic Alliance (DF) released a shocking statement accusing National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Bobi Wine of betrayal. The controversial post, shared on DF’s official platform, claims that Bobi Wine was “created” by the DF, but has now turned against the very people who helped him rise.
The post criticizes Bobi Wine for exposing internal disagreements and attacking colleagues publicly. According to DF, such actions go against the values of leadership, which they say requires quiet negotiation and unity rather than public confrontation.
“In leadership, you don’t expose your colleague,” the statement reads. “You sit in the dark and argue out of light.” The message suggests that disagreements within the opposition should be handled privately, away from the public eye.
Even more surprising, the post openly admits that some senior opposition figures—namely Mukaaku, Mabikke, and Kasibante—regularly interact with President Museveni’s regime. DF justifies this by claiming their lobbying efforts have benefited the party, and therefore, they are not subject to public criticism.
This revelation has raised serious questions about DF’s real position and loyalty in Uganda’s political landscape. Bobi Wine, who has built his reputation as a fierce critic of political compromise and state capture, now finds himself accused of being disloyal to the same political family that once supported him.
The statement has divided opinion among opposition supporters. Some believe DF’s approach of silent diplomacy is necessary, while others see it as a betrayal of the fight for true democracy. Many are now calling for DF to clarify where it stands—whether with the people or with the regime.
As the 2026 general elections approach, these internal rifts could significantly weaken the opposition’s ability to present a united front. The fallout from DF’s statement may mark a turning point in Uganda’s political dynamics, exposing deeper cracks and possibly reshaping future alliances.
For now, the opposition faces a difficult test of unity, trust, and transparency—with Bobi Wine at the center of it all.
