Ugandan opposition leader and National Unity Platform (NUP) President, Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, has said he does not have a problem with his former deputy, Hon. Mathias Mpuuga.
This comes after the two were recently seen sitting together in a church service.
Speaking to the media, Bobi Wine said that although they had a misunderstanding in the past, that does not mean they are enemies.
He explained that the issue between them was not handled well, but he holds no grudge against Mpuuga.
“We disagreed, but we’re not enemies,” Bobi Wine said.
Some thought the two leaders were no longer on good terms.
However, their appearance together in church gave hope to many of their supporters.
It showed that unity is still possible in the opposition camp.
Popular journalist and NBS TV show host, Simon Kaggwa Njala, reacted to the news on social media.
He praised both leaders for putting their differences aside and choosing peace.
“Heartwarming and epic! May this endure. Thanks to our giants @HEBobiwine and @MathiasMpuuga,” Njala wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“Like it or not, these two are powerful in our politics. Buli omu alina amasannyalaze (each of them has energy).”
Many Ugandans online welcomed the message, saying it was a good step for unity ahead of the next elections.
At the same time, Bobi Wine also announced that he is ready to run for president again — if the NUP chooses him as their flag bearer. He asked Ugandans to support him in the fight for change.
He also accused President Museveni’s government of arresting and abducting NUP supporters to intimidate them.
He said such actions will not stop their struggle for freedom.
This new show of unity between Bobi Wine and Hon. Mpuuga has given fresh hope to the opposition.
Many believe that if leaders can forgive and work together, they stand a better chance in the 2026 elections.
