On the 17th of January, National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kayagulanyi Ssentamu, aka Bobi Wine, and some of his friends, flew out of the country to Dubai.
The NUP president is expected to meet Ugandan Diaspora (people of Ugandan descent who love and work outside Uganda) in Dubai.
Photos of Bobi Wine departing from Entebbe International Airport together with his fellow friend and famous comedian Kaperere trended all over different social media platforms.
Ugandan businessman and Kampala tycoon Frank Gashumba has highly condemned Bobi Wine’s trip to Dubai, urging that it is not something a presidential candidate fighting change in the country should be doing.
Gashumba compared the current scenarios between Bobi Wine and Dr. Kizza Besigye, who, at the most, is being held at Luzira prison.
Gashumba says Bobi Wine does not have the right state of mind to rule Uganda because he is not ready to offer sacrifices for the struggle unlike Besigye.

No one knows the intentions of Bobi, maybe why he’s in Dubai. But what we know is that Dr. Kiiza Besigye Mutaabani wa Kifefe loves his country and is willing to do whatever it takes to cease his moment.
Bobi wine is a musician, lifist. Except Hon. Kyagulanyi who was the former MP for Kyadondo, Bobi is different and is not fit for the position ” some powers are pushing him to occupy”
It’s ironic that Gashumba who supports Muhoozi’s PLM badly supports change. These are the people who badly want Bobi wine to lead Baganda in the central on the streets and be killed because it is only the central that focuses on these regime change strikes as the rest of the country gets to enjoy after wards. I am proud of this Bobi wine for not letting his emotions get the better of him today.
