National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has says President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni hosted ‘ghost’ defectors.
Recently, Museveni welcomed scores of NUP members belonging to the ‘Kikankane Group.’ (Read story here).
But Bobi Wine quickly claimed no such group exists in his NUP party.
He suspects the defectors could have been LDUs or the president might have been conned.
“Who knows these people who Museveni paraded yesterday as NUP supporters? Who knows about a group called ‘Kikankane’ allegedly affiliated with NUP? The desperate dictator must have picked some LDUs and claimed they were our supporters. None of our leaders knows any of them!” said Bobi Wine.
“Alternatively, a group of schemers took random people to him, in order to con him of billions of tax payers’ money! Besides, if these were NUP supporters and therefore civilians, why dress them in ‘military uniforms’ – the very bogus charge put on hundreds of our supporters?”
The singer-turned-politician also says the ‘ghost’ defections “clearly show how desperate his regime is!”
“By the time a supposed head of state engages in such stunts, it’s clear that he feels the heat,” he added.
