Don’t Smile At Them!! Bobi Wine Tells Ugandans To Show Discontent To NAM Summit Delegates
The National Unity Platform (NUP) Principal Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, took a bold stance as the NAM summit kicked off.
Addressing the crowd at the NUP Headquarters in Makerere Kavule, he stood against the Minister of Information’s call for a warm welcome to summit attendees. Instead, Kyagulanyi urged Ugandans to seize the moment, turning the spotlight on their discontent.
In a passionate plea, he emphasized the importance of utilizing the NAM Summit as a platform to voice concerns. Rejecting the idea of a harmonious reception, Kyagulanyi encouraged citizens to make their dissatisfaction known during this international gathering. The NUP leader believed that this global event offered a unique opportunity for Ugandans to shed light on issues affecting them. As he concluded his address, Bobi Wine’s rallying cry resonated through the NUP Headquarters, urging citizens to unite in expressing their grievances.
