Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has donated food to Makerere University students through his party the National Unity Platform (NUP).
Bobi Wine made the donation on Friday, November 1, 2024 at the NUP headquarters at Makerere Kavule. The food items include rice and posho.
Speaking to the students gathering, Bobi Wine urged them not to be intimidated by the regime or university administrators from receiving aid from well wishers. He made the remarks in response to the heavy police deployment made to block students from accessing the party headquarters to receive the food donation.
Bobi’s donation follows a cry from Makerere students, especially those on government sponsorship, to well wishers to support them with food. The students claimed they are starving due to the delayed release of their allowances.
The alarm by government sponsored students has seen a number of well wishers come up to support the students among these being Pastor Martin Ssempa.
