Councilor Ssegirinya out as Bobi Wine, dines with Ssebagala

By Mubiru Ivan

Hard Luck Segirinya. We have received news from several groups of people who believe you might just not be the next Kawempe South MP.

One of them is your nemesis, Latif Ssebagala.

Background.

News that Kawempe Division Lord Councilor Muhammad Ssegirinya has been declaring his intentions to contest for Kawempe South parliamentary seat come 2021are no longer a secret.

But like most any other opportunist, Ssegirinya always wants to associate himself with the ‘best’ political figures that can help him achieve his far-reach dream of becoming part of the legislative assembly of Uganda in future.

Of late, the controversial politician, who recently printed ‘Welcome Home’ posters for self, has identified himself as part and parcel of ‘People Power’, an emerging political movement headed by Kyandondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine.

Before the birth of ‘People Power’, Ssegirinya was always hobnobbing with former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) President and four time presidential candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye.

However, it seems Bobi Wine is not impressed by Ssegirinya’s political things.

We call them ‘things’ because at Watchdog Uganda, we do not know what he stands for.

Anyways, according to what we see, Bobi will not back ‘comic’ Segirinya in his conquest to oust the incumbent Kawempe South MP Latif Ssebagala.

Recently, Bobi Wine hosted Ssebagala at his home in Magere and the politicians discussed a number of political issues, including how the latter can work hand in hand with the already in-place ‘People Power’ members to ensure that the movement gains more momentum in Uganda.

“I was happily hosted by @H.E Bobi Wine at his residence in Magere together with a few leaders from Kawempe led by Councilor Lukwago Ramadhan Isihaq for an auspicious breakfast. Discussed so many issues and we shall soon reveal them to the public,” confirmed Ssebagala on his Facebook page.

Again, hard luck Ssegirinya!
