Bobi Wine has said that they will continue fighting until they repay all those who have died during the struggle to change the government.
The National Unity Platform (NUP) party presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine has said that they will continue fighting until they repay all those who have died during the struggle to change the government.
Kyagulanyi made the remarks on Tuesday while addressing a press conference at his party offices in Kamwokya. He said that ever since he announced his decision to run for the presidency there has been untold brutality towards him and his party colleagues.
He explained that many of their party members have been killed during the brutality and others also murdered by the state but they will keep fighting until they are set free.
The NUP boss noted that ending President Museveni’s regime is the only way they can repay the families of those who have lost their loved ones during the struggle.
“Ever since we announced that we would contest against President Museveni, there has been untold brutality. I send my condolences to the families that have been murdered by the State. We will not relent, but fight until we are free,” Kyagulanyi said.
“We know that they are doing these things to break our resolve but I want to tell (President) Museveni and his cronies that we will not give up. The only way we can repay our fallen comrades is by fighting on.”
Stressing his point, he said that he will resume his campaigns from Wednesday in areas of Kalangala. Kyagulanyi assured his all supporters countrywide that he will do everything possible to reach out to them despite the EC’s decision to suspend campaigns in 13 districts.
”People of Kalangala, we are coming to you tomorrow. People of Bukomansimbi and Mpigi Districts, we are coming to you the day after tomorrow,” Kyagulanyi said.
He, however, condemned the recent police brutality that saw the death of his private bodyguard Frank who was reportedly run over by a military car.
Bobi Wine noted that this together with other notable incidents including attacks and arrests of civilians and journalists by the state are also condemned.
“We condemn the attack on journalists. These journalists have helped us to capture incidents that would have passed unnoticed and we want to warn the security forces that the world is watching you.”
“I call upon the world that we are part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” Kyagulanyi added.
