National Unity Platform party leader Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has urged Ugandans to fight for their rights and reject President Yoweri Museveni’s dictatorship.
In a statement on Monday February 24, 2025, the Ugandan opposition politician also urged the international community to hold Museveni and his armed thugs accountable.
“To Ugandans watching, especially those on the sidelines—this is the time to stand up against the Museveni dictatorship. And to the international community, if you truly stand for democracy, hold Museveni and his armed thugs accountable,” stated Bobi Wine.
“To Museveni and your son, hear this: Your time is up! No amount of intimidation will stop the people’s march to freedom. When that day comes, neither your guns nor your propaganda will save you from the judgment of the people!” he added in a statement posted on X.
His statement emerged after last week’s raid on the National Unity Platform headquarters in Kavule and the party’s leadership school in Kamwokya by joint security forces.
“This criminal break-in, sanctioned by the regime and commanded by Museveni’s unhinged son Muhoozi, saw State thugs vandalize our property, steal computers, cameras, documents, and over 40 million shillings in cash.
“They also disabled our security systems and took the hard drives containing our CCTV footage,” he stated.
According to Bobi Wine, this was not just an attack on NUP—it was an attack on every Ugandan who believes in change, freedom, and the right to organize without fear.
He alleged that the attack was led by Chief of Ugandan Armed Forces General Muhoozi and President Museveni’s government.
“We were pleasantly surprised when some of our abducted comrades re-appeared in the middle of the press conference, fresh from illegal military detention at CMI.
“These included comrades Alex Rwanyaga Rovans and Kayabula Eddie (members of our Elections Management Committee), Kinobe Rashid, Kiyemba Sharif, and Bongole Samson. We still demand for the release of the rest such as Achileo Kivumbi, Mugumya Gaddafi, and Wakabi Grace, and as well the release of all political prisoners,” he noted.
