Uganda Election: Wole Soyinka Sends Message To Museveni

According to Omoyele Sowore, a one-time presidential aspirant in Nigeria, nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has told President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda that "he will be held personally responsible for the safety of Bobi Wine", the East African country's opposition leader.

Sowore made this known on his verified Facebook page on Friday.

Wine had told the world on Friday the military has “taken over” his compound just hours after he alleged Thursday’s election was rigged.

The musician cum politician tweeted the news not long after he said “every legal option is on the table” to challenge the official results of the 2021 Ugandan presidential election.

Meanwhile, military officials said according to Al Jazeera that while there was an incident at Bobi Wine’s residence, it was not “the way Bobi Wine was explaining it”.

“It is not true that the people who jumped over [into his home] were security personnel, but they were civilians,” deputy military spokesperson Deo Akiki stated.
