Moses Ssali, Uganda’s top musician better known as Bebe Cool insists that no one knows Robert Kyagulanyi better than he does.
He further insists that only him can stop Kyagulanyi.
Until, November 18, Bebe Cool who joined President Yoweri Museveni’s campaign trail had attracted masses in processions in Northern and Eastern Uganda.
Bebe Cool was among the NRM diehards canvassing support for President Museveni. However, he suspended the processions following the arrest of Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine who was later charged with spreading infectious disease- COVID-19.
His arrest drew ire from the public who questioned the State security’s impartiality considering that Bebe Cool had similar crowds on the trail.
Bebe Cool would later adopt the “door to door” strategy as he combed the nook and crevice of Eastern Uganda looking for votes for his candidate.
However, Mr Ssali warned that should Bobi Wine resume the processions, he would also continue in full scale.
Bebe Cool and Bobi Wine were once close friends, sang together in the same group until they fell out in the 2000s.
The former maintains that Bobi Wine, the leading opposition Presidential candidate in 2021 general elections can only be tamed by him.
“I know him. I understand him. I can manage him,” Bebe Cool said on Tuesday.
Perceived to have taken a break from the campaign trail, Bebe Cool announced that he will be resuming business 10 times stronger.
“I have drained all my bank accounts. I am going back to neutralize him.”
Mr Ssali again dispelled the notion of comparing to President Museveni to Kyagulanyi.
“They are not in the same league,” he says. Adding that Bobi Wine attracts crowds because of his earlier stance as a musician.
To prove his point, Bebe Cool said he would attract more crowds. “Just watch me.”
Nevertheless, Bebe Cool wondered why authorities, State entities like Electoral Commission, cultural institutions like Buganda Kingdom, NGOs, etc have not come out to condemn Bobi Wine’s behavior for rallying masses amid a pandemic while endangering lives of Ugandans.
