Former Presidential Candidate Robert Kyagulanyi a.k.a Bobi Wine has trashed allegations of having a “Plan B”.
Bobi Wine says he has only one plan and that is to remove President Yoweri Museveni out of power in less than a month.
While meeting Councillor-elects belonging to National Unity Platform (NUP) at his home in Magere on Friday , the former Kyadondo East legislator said“, There is no Plan B, Plan C, Plan D or whatsoever.”
“How many of you heard me saying saying Plan B? The only plan I have is Plan A and that’s to remove Museveni from power using every thing possible. We want to use all the necessary legal means to remove the dictator from power and its very possible,” Bobi Wine noted.
“Some journalists quoted me out of context, that I gave Museveni a year, a whole year when Museveni is still President? My friend we can’t even wait for a month.”
On the same day, Bobi Wine, through his lawyers Wameli and Company Advocates, notified the supreme Court that he will be filing a presidential petition on Monday 1st February 2020.
The development was confirmed by Judiciary Spokesperson, Solomon Muyita.
Last week, Bobi Wine described the presidential election of January 14 as “a mockery of democracy”.
The National Unity Platform (NUP) leader came second in the race against incumbent President Yoweri Museveni, who won a sixth term with an outright majority.
In a Facebook address to Ugandans on last Friday, Bobi Wine said he has since the 17th of January 2021 been advised that NUP goes to court to contest the election results while other well wishers have advised against the move.
“A number of well wishers have since the 17th of January been telling us to go to court, while others do not support it. Those against court say we would be giving Museveni another term. We are still consulting stakeholders and we will, in a few days, inform you of our decision,” he said.
“We defeated them and we we were supposed to be announced as winners but they announced fake results which are not totally related to what happened.”
Bobi Wine also called on Ugandans to use “non-violent legal means to remove Museveni”.
“This is an insult to all Ugandans who have fought for freedom. We reject these fake results, and we refuse to acknowledge Museveni as the winner. Resisting tyranny in Uganda is now our duty. We must rise peacefully.We are a non-violent group. Studies show that non-violent revolutions have been more effective in removing dictatorships,” he said.
