Musician cum politician Bobi Wine performed in London over the weekend, and indeed the fans left satisfied with an electric performance.Following the performance, NTV’s Sammy Wetala tasked Eddy Kenzo, who happens to be the President of musicians, to find a solution for Bobi Wine so he can perform back on stage in Uganda.
Kenzo, however, says it’s beyond his control, and he can’t do anything for that to happen. He believes Bobi Wine’s issue is beyond music as he is a politician who is fighting to overthrow the government.
“Bobi Wine wants to become the president of this country, and his ban on performing in Uganda as a musician is beyond my control. I’m simply here to fight for musicians, and I’m not a politician,” Kenzo partly said in an interview with NTV Uganda.Bobi Wine was banned from performing in Uganda in 2018 for making political statements during his shows.
Bobi Wine made a triumphant return to the UK after a decade-long ban last week, wowing the audience with a passionate performance in London where several Ugandan gays and their supporters as well as political dissidents converged.
Wine’s show dubbed “the return of the Gladiator,” was held at the Intercontinental Hotel, Peninsula Ballroom Greenwich, drawing over a thousand attendees, including Bobi’s wife, Barbie Itungo. Backed by a live band and featuring guest performers Nubian Li and Gen Mega .
Mega D is an Ugandan musician turned political dissident in the Unites States as well as political activist and writer Kakwenza Rukirabashaija also a thought to be an homosexual attended.Rights activist Nicholas Opio also attended the show.Political bloggers based in Sweden- Peng Peng and Kojja who are known ardent supporters of the National Unity Platform NUP led by Bobi Wine flew from their countries of residence to London as well as other European-based bloggers.
Bobi Wine also indirectly addressed Mathias his excommunicated parliament commissioner and former leader of opposition Mathias Mpuuga, stressing that the struggle goes beyond formal attire.BWANIKA and Mpuuga have publicly distanced themselves from Bobi Wine amid accusations of Wine lays against them of corruption while they accuse him of poor leadership and leading the National Unity Platform on his family influence.
