Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) President, Dr Kizza Besigye has spoken out on the trending ‘mwebereremu’ comments, noting that he is in no way fighting Kyadondo East MP, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
Taking to his official twitter account on Sunday, Besigye said there is a section of people attempting to pit him against his brother Bobi Wine.
“A deliberate attempt by some “interests” to pit me against my brother Bobi isn’t lost on me. The clip of 50 seconds from a speech of one-and-half hours can do that. Bobi isn’t one of those driving a tribal campaign. Whoever understood my words to be aimed Bobi, my sincere apology,” Besigye tweeted.
He was responding to a tweet by journalist, Sadab Kitatta that read thus; ”So shameful that Kizza Besigye can misrepresent a clear message by Bobi Wine. At least I have listened to Bobi saying, “be part of this struggle, don’t leave it to your leaders; mwebereremu.” How tribalistic is that message?”
Besigye reportedly made the remarks yesterday while addressing FDC Kampala Regional Comference held at Party Headquarters in Najjanankumbi.
The video clip of Besigye’s remarks has been doing rounds on social media, with many criticizing him for misunderstanding Bobi Wine’s ‘mwebereremu’ message.
