“Right after nomination, Bobi Wine was violently arrested outside nomination venue! He's been brutalised by police and military. They've blocked him from proceeding to launch his manifesto at office. It is clear Museveni and his regime are in so much panic. We Shall Overcome,” Bobi Wine’s spokesperson tweeted.
Meanwhile, Bobi Wine has promised to revolutionize Uganda and run a people-centered government if he is elected as the next president.
"Fellow Ugandans, I present myself as a servant, not a boss. We are going to run a people-centered government. Our government will zone Uganda into agricultural zones,” he said in a statement to the media.
