Whoever had thought that the war of words between singer Edrisa Musuuza and Robert Kyagulanyi’s People Power would be ending soon must have been dreaming.
The multi award winning celebrity has struck again, this time hitting the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Bobi Wine after being floored by the ruling party at his home tuff in Kamwokya and other Kampala surrounding areas in the just concluded village youths elections.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page, Kenzo seemed to troll the Kamwokya outfit for blindly believing that having many likes and followers on social media would translate into real votes on the ballot which in actual sense is not true.
He went further by advising his former ally – Bobi Wine to use the outcome of the elections to come to his senses and embrace the realities of the political game by learning to distinguish between factual and fiction.
“In this day and age of social media and the enigmatic youth vote (is it below 25 or 35?) it is humbling to accept that likes and retweets are not a reflection of real-life support. The youth elections that took place this week are a reminder of the difference between fact and fiction.”
Kenzo, who seemed unwilling to mince words in providing wise counsel to his ally went on to assert that whereas the saying goes; men lie, women lie but numbers don’t lie, going ahead to quote some results in Kampala where NRM had beaten NUP hands down.
These included in Makindye parishes where NRM got 14 against 6 for NUP, Rubaga out of the 13 parishes, NRM won 9 while in Bobi Wine’s home parish in Kamwokya, NRM won in 7 of the 10 zones.
In Kampala central division, NRM won 133 zones against only four for NUP whereas in Nakawa, the ruling outfit amassed 19, leaving only four for Bobi Wine’s NUP.
Kenzo’s unfriendly remarks come at a time when questions over the feasibility of People Power’s claim of having majority of the youths on their side has been thrown under doubt.
