I am Happy Bobby Wine was able to attend after escaping from Police in Uganda Just last week, This man should Push the 33 Years old Tyrant Museveni out of Uganda

Our own Bobby Wine, "OMOYELE SOWORE" is being held and incarcerated by a Brutal Tyrant, more brutal than Museveni and Idi Amin Dada. Buhari the Traitor and Coup Plotter who does not want to be insulted after his obvious failure
