Bobi to supporters: I thank you for keeping the struggle alive

WAKISO. Shortly after reaching his home, Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine appeared on the porch to wave to constituents and supporters whom he thanked for keeping the “struggle and spirit” of seeking change in Uganda alive.

Daily Monitor’s Derrick Wandera reports that Bobi waved to an ecstatic crowd, which kept surging forward. The electorate had managed to push police out of the compound before Bobi’s address.

“I thank you my fans and supporters for being here for me and my family,” Bobi said to deafening applause. He added: “The struggle still continues and let’s keep the spirit.”
