Recording Artist H.E.Bobi Wine together with events promoters Abtex and Bajo have expressed their concern over police’s delay in responding to their notice about the upcoming Kyalenga concerts to be staged on Monday the 22 of April at One love beach in Busabala.
Addressing the media in
Kampala, Bobi Wine says, they submitted the required letters to police
headquarters in Naggulu a month back, but to their disappointment, nothing positive has been heard from police
yet.
Since last year, Bobi
Wine’s events have been blocked by police over alleged failure to fulfill the
necessary requirements.
Bobi Wine insists that
their Kyalenga events at Busaabala One Love Beach on Easter Monday, Gulu, Lira
and Arua will go on as planned. He further stresses that, the continued oppression
by the state machinery erodes away their rights especially the economic right.
Andrew Mukasa of Bajjo
Events and Abby Musinguzi of Abtex Promotions request government to consider
music as a job to most of the people especially the youth adding that by blocking
Bobi Wine concerts is having a great economic impact to the players.
The
promoters now insist, Bobi is the hot cake in the music industry with anyone to
earn from the shows, they have to have him on the lineup of recording artists
they are to present to them.
Nubian
Lee also a recording artist who sings with Bobi a professional accountant who
turned into a recording artist challenges fellow artists to come out loud and
condemn these acts of impunity, saying today its them, tomorrow it might be another
artist.
H.E.
Bobi Wine has not had a show since last year and this is all attributed to the
fact that he has aggressively shown desires to stand for presidency in Uganda come
2021 which the current regime feels not good.
Ever since he disclosed his political ambitions, Bobi Wine has gained resounding support from many ugandans within the country and outside the country. His wave, “People Power” has swept the country and the world as a whole hence erasing the mighty of the four time opposition leader Rt. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye, formerly the FDC president and presidential flag bearer.
