Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has issued a fresh declaration targeting opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine. In a new post, Muhoozi ‘banned’ Bobi Wine from participating in any elections in the country. Earlier in the week, Muhoozi took several jibes at Bobi Wine, even threatening to kill him, before he deleted the tweets. Uganda’s first son had on Monday issued a public ultimatum to Wine, with 48 hours to surrender to the police. Bobi Wine further said the security establishment of serious acts he called “atrocities against Ugandans,” saying he would “resurface” on his own terms.
