The video clip cutout from ‘The People’s President’ documentary, starring H.E Bobi Wine, Barbie Kyagulanyi and their kids is making Netizens talking.
In the 30-sec clip, the National Unity Platform (NUP) honcho, can be seen and heard chairing a family meeting, in which he informs his four kids; Solomon Kampala, Suubi, Shalom and Shadraq, that they will be jetting out of the country to the United States (US) for temporary safety on the eve of the 2021 general election.
Bobi Wine, in a low tone further tells the seemingly terrified kids that he and the mum, Barbie, are to stay behind and soldier on since ‘the country needs them’. Wearing a sad face but with high hopes of securing the country’s top office, the former legislature informs them how he will be talking to them on phone on a daily basis to calm the storm.
“…You are going to America. Maama and I will stay because the Nation needs us, we shall be safe, okay? When the situation settles down here you will come back home and start school, okay? I will be talking to you people everyday, so don’t worry,” the 43-year old politician, who holds a Diploma in Music Dance And Drama (MDD) from Makerere University says as his stunning bae, Barbie looks on in silence.
This is not the first film Bobi has starred in and impressed. In 2008, Bobi played a lead role in Divisionz, his very first movie. He was one of the casts in Yogera in 2010, and Situka in 2015.

About Bobi Wine’s documentary
Born in the slums of Kampala, Bobi Wine, Ugandan opposition leader, former member of parliament, activist and national superstar musician, risks his life and the lives of his wife, Barbie, and their children to fight the ruthless regime led by Yoweri Museveni.
Museveni has been in power since 1986 and changed Uganda’s constitution to enable him to run for yet another five-year term.
Running in the country’s 2021 presidential elections, Bobi Wine uses his music to denounce the dictatorial regime and support his life mission to defend the oppressed and the voiceless people of Uganda. In this fight, he must also take on the country’s police and military, which are not afraid to use violence and torture in a vain attempt to intimidate and silence him and his supporters.
