As Kyadondo East polls are underway, Makerere University don, Dr Stella Nyanzi has revealed why singer Bobi Wine, real names Robert Kyagulanyi, (also a law student at International University of East Africa) should be elected as the new county Member of Parliament.
In her Facebook post, Nyanzi says; “For starters, his politics has for long been in the right place. He never joined the Tubbonga Nawe musicians who sang praises for Museveni during the last presidential campaigns.”
His social justice work is growing. Unlike many who think that Bobi is like dormant comedians and singers masquerading as legislators, I see a growing social-political leader who is in touch with the realities of youthful Uganda. Some of his music is heavily political because it clearly names and challenges oppression.
But also, it would be really great to have a passion-filled swaggerific dreadlocked Mubanda in parliament. I hope he shares his ganja with many Members of Parliament because weed can unblock blocked minds. Yeah man, maximum peace and respec’ Bobi Wine! Nange ku lunno mbikwathitha Kyagulanyi.”
We shall keep you posted on the polling results.
