The relationship between Kampala City Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and NUP darling Bobi Wine might break down completely.
Lukwago who did not only refuse to rally behind Bobi Wine in the just concluded general elections but also turned down offer to cross to NUP has told the former presidential candidate to resign as party president.
Lukwago now a certified FDC member claims that for the “Civil Disobedience” plan by Bobi Wine to to work, he must first step down from the presidency of his party.
According to Lukwago, civil disobedience will miserably flop unless there is no beef and friction especially between NUP and FDC.
“I would like to advise that parties should not separate us from the aims of the struggle. When you decide to front only your party ahead of civil disobedience, then it will not work. That is why we chose to go ahead with people’s government with Dr. Kizza Besigye,” Erias Lukwago stated while appearing on NBS TV’s Barometer.
He called out Bobi to a leaf from Kiiza Besigye who in the past has the experience of tickling the Leopard’s anus. The city most loved man who recently won back Lord Mayorship seat with a landslide advised Bobi to copy Besigye who he says stood down from his position as party president FDC during the famous walk-to-work protests.
“I would like to implore Bobi Wine in good faith to take the lessons of Besigye. When we were starting walk-to-work protests, Dr. Besigye stood down from FDC presidency to handle the encumbrances of the struggle and bring parties together. I pray that Bobi Wine thinks deeply on this matter so that he will allow the struggle to separate itself from NUP as a party. There are no party cards in defiance, let us differentiate the struggle from NUP,” Lukwago added.
On Monday Bobi announced countrywide peaceful protests as one of ways to trounce Sevo. In the January polls Bobi came second, behind Sevo as per final Electoral Commission results. However, NUP darling claims his victory was stolen from him and now he wants it back using People Power.
