I didn’t say Bobi Wine was gay- Basajjamivule defends self as People Power supporters continue to roast veteran journalist

Bobi Wine and Basajjamivule
SHARE

Controversial veteran journalist Bwaddene Basajjamivule has said he never pointed out Bobi Wine as being gay when he claimed that National Unity Platform (NUP) / People Power is full of homosexuals and drug addicts.

A few days ago, Basajjamivule downplayed Bobi Wine- real name Robert Kyagulanyi’s chances of replacing President Yoweri Museveni at State House saying he is surrounded by morally lame people who cannot be trusted by the Ugandan public.

Basajjamivule further tipped the public that voting out President Museveni to replace him with the rogue gang led by Bobi Wine, who is a ‘homosexual’ and ‘high on drugs’ would be the biggest mistake for which even God wouldn’t forgive the country.

“President Museveni will not leave office only to be replaced with this bunch of rogues, imbeciles, drug addicts and homosexuals. We deserve better as a country and we can’t afford to look on as our country heads into an unprecedented turmoil even God himself won’t allow that to happen,” the former Bobi Wine supporter vowed.

However during an interview with NBS TV’s Uncut show on Wednesday, Basajjamivule disclosed that when he said that People Power had homosexuals, he specifically meant blogger Peng Peng but not his boss Bobi Wine.

“I wonder why when you talk about their leader, they roast you, they make it to seem illegal to talk about him, we are going to fight that thinking. When you talk about People Power, they pelt you with stones to death. We cannot accept that. You see the photos the bad posts and photos of me putting on dresses among others, that’s very childish. We cannot allow such people to take over our country,” Mivule said.

“I have no issues with Bobi Wine. When I said that a person who attacks others, a homosexual, I was meaning Peng Peng but some people turned it around to make it look like I was meaning Bobi Wine.”

However, although he has defended himself, the People Power online army is not ready to let him go scoff free without feeling their pinch to the maximum.
