Controversial musician Ronald Mayinja has claimed that it was Bobi Wine who turned against him and denied ever betraying the National Unity Platform party leader.
In a freestyle he performed over the weekend in Boston, Massachusetts, Bobi Wine mentioned a number of people he thought of as friends who betrayed him by siding with President Museveni and his regime. Mayinja was one of the individuals he mentioned.
In response to Bobi Wine’s remarks, Mayinja asserted that their disagreement stemmed from the fact that he did not share Bobi Wine’s political ideologies, though he provided no further details.
Additionally, he claimed Bobi Wine betrayed him by selling his ticket for the 2021 generational elections.
“I wanted to stand as MP for the Gomba parliamentary seat in 2021, but he sold my ticket to someone,” Mayinja claimed while appearing on Ubarn TV this morning.
Prior to the 2021 general elections, reports emerged that Mayinja had received over Sh300 million in payment, along with a V8 Land Cruiser, to switch from the NUP to the NRM.
Mayinja, however, is adamant that his crossing was motivated by his rejection of Bobi Wine’s political ideologies. He urges Bobi Wine to respect his choices.
Mayinja, who is currently traveling with Team MK, defended his U-turns by asserting that in a democracy, everyone is free to support whoever they choose.
