“The Threat By Museveni’s Son To Behead Me Is Not Something I Take Lightly” Bobi Wine Breaks His Silence

Uganda’s political landscape was recently rocked by a heated exchange between General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of President Yoweri Museveni, and Bobi Wine, the Leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP) and a prominent opposition figure. On Sunday, January 5, 2024, General Muhoozi posted a tweet that garnered widespread attention. In the tweet, he appeared to issue a direct threat to Bobi Wine, stating, “Kabobi knows that THE ONLY person protecting him from me is my father. If Mzee was not there, I would cut off his head today!” Many interpreted “Kabobi” as a reference to Bobi Wine, making the comment a clear threat.

Bobi Wine, known for his bold opposition to Uganda’s ruling regime, was quick to respond. In his social media reply, he expressed grave concern over the threat, particularly in light of Uganda’s history of political violence. He tweeted, “The threat by Museveni’s son (who also heads Uganda’s military) to behead me is not something I take lightly, given that many have been killed by him and his father, and considering their several attempts at my life. I REFUSE to be intimidated by the cowardly regime. The world is watching.”

This confrontation has sparked mixed reactions among Ugandans. While some have expressed anger and called for accountability, others view it as political theater. Many are now closely observing how the government will respond, especially given General Muhoozi’s influential role in Uganda’s military and his position as the son of the President.
