Gen Muhoozi says to shoot Bobi Wine personally

By James Kabengwa KAMPALA. Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni and commander of the nation’s land forces, escalated his violent rhetoric against opposition leader Bobi Wine on Sunday using the derogatory nickname “Kabobi” to lash the National Unity Platform (NUP) president with crude, militaristic threats. In a series of social media tirades, Muhoozi vowed to personally assassinate Wine—a former musician turned democracy icon—while mocking him as a “baboon” and a “drug addict.” The threats, unprecedented in their graphic vulgarity, underscore the regime’s desperation to crush dissent ahead of Uganda’s 2026 elections. Bobi Wine (real name Robert Kyagulanyi), whose NUP party has galvanized youth-led opposition to Museveni’s 39 year rule, has faced relentless state persecution since nearly defeating the president in the violent, fraud-tainted 2021 polls. “If Kabobi even thinks of causing any chaos in Uganda, I will personally […]
