Veteran opposition leader Kizza Besigye has said that he is willing and able to support rising politician Bobi Wine, if Ugandans ask him to. Besigye who has been conspicuously silent since the politician began making waves of social media, said “the struggle for liberation in Uganda, calls for new and old actors to unite. So if Ugandans want Kyagulanyi, I am willing to give him my support.”
Bobi Wine however has not publicly declared an interest in the presidency, almost three years to the next election in 2021.
Besigye’s statements come after a meeting he held with Bobi Wine in Kasangati to discuss the way forward.
Meanwhile, the Firebase superstar will also hold his Kyarenga concert at Namboole Stadium on 20th October 2018. The Uganda Police Force has not yet expressed objection to the concert.
