"At the right time I will come back and continue with the cause. Out of shame and lack of legitimacy, him and his son are searching for me everywhere, and that's why I'm leaving the country for a while. It's laughable that for almost two months, the entire security apparatus of Uganda has invested billions of taxpayers' money to search for me everywhere, but they failed to get me."
"Wine on Saturday again maintained that Museveni had rigged the election and usurped the will of the people. After all, I have not committed any crime. Running for president is not a crime. I will return to Uganda and let the regime do whatever they want to me in full view of the world."
Bobi Wine, a 44-year-old pop star and opposition politician, announced his departure from Uganda for unspecified critical engagements abroad, describing it as temporary. Wine had been in hiding since the January 15 elections, claiming military personnel searched for him. He maintains that President Museveni rigged the election and usurped the people's will. Wine appointed his deputy, Lina Zedriga, to lead the National Unity Platform party during his absence. He criticized the government for spending billions searching for him unsuccessfully over nearly two months. Wine, previously detained and tortured during the 2021 elections, stated he would return to Uganda and face any consequences, asserting that running for president is not a crime.
