Bobi Wine Drops a Bold Message to Ugandans About Eddie Mutwe, Announces a Major Event for Today

Opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has called upon Ugandans both at home and abroad to join a crucial X (formerly Twitter) Space tonight at 7:30 PM East African Time.The online gathering, which will be hosted by Bobi Wine himself, is being organized to rally support and demand justice for his longtime ally and bodyguard, Edward Ssebuufu, also known as Eddie Mutwe, who was allegedly abducted by security forces last Sunday.

Bobi Wine’s announcement has triggered a wave of anticipation across the political landscape and among human rights defenders.

The planned Space is expected to bring together political figures, activists, and ordinary citizens to raise their voices against what Bobi Wine has described as “a criminal regime” responsible for the ongoing persecution of opposition members.

Eddie Mutwe, who has been a central figure in Bobi Wine’s security detail, went missing under unclear circumstances, with the National Unity Platform (NUP) claiming that he was picked up by operatives linked to the state.

His disappearance has stirred fresh concerns over forced disappearances and political repression in Uganda.

By taking the conversation to X, Bobi Wine aims to mobilize public attention, document cases of abuse, and ensure that voices calling for justice are heard far beyond Uganda’s borders.

The event is also expected to spotlight the broader crackdown on opposition members and intensify demands for accountability.

Even as tension builds, all eyes are now on tonight’s online session, which could serve as a platform not just for solidarity, but for organizing future action in the face of what many see as increasing authoritarianism
