In Fort Portal

After being welcomed by overwhelming numbers in Fort portal at his first campaign after detention, National unity platform presidential candidate Kyagulanyi Sentamu Robert has urged the youth to make use of their numbers to create change that Uganda has been yearning for.

During his campaign at St Leo’s College Kyegobe play ground where thousands had gathered to cheer him up, Bobi wine noted that the youth are the most oppressed by what he called bad governance in the country because they are the majority and called upon them to support him to fight for the right of the oppressed

Kyagulanyi also noted that overwhelming numbers that have welcomed him in fort portal after all the intimidation and detention should send a signal to the ruling government that people are determined to vote for change and called upon electorates not to leave politics to only politicians but instead collectively join efforts to cause a desired change.

He warned the government of excessive force it uses on opposition politicians, sent a signal that he is not worried about fear created to hinder him from his ambitions of leading the nation and reminded those who take laws in their hands that the world outside is watching.
