In his campaigning trails in the concluded 2021 general elections, the former presidential candidate on ticket of National Unity Platform Hon. Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert aka Bobi Wine was seen on many rallies wearing a bullet proof vest and ballistic helmet.
Kyagulanyi said that to wear them he was protecting his life from Security organs who were targeting him and his campaigning team.
The elections were concluded at least a month ago but as on Sunday morning, Bobi Wine revealed a bulletproof vehicle he says that he received it as a gift from Ugandans in and outside the country.
Via his facebook page, Kyagulanyi posted the picture of him and a car accompanied with a statement thanking Ugandans for keeping themselves in a ‘struggle of removing a dictator’.
“From the time we were attacked with live bullets on the campaign trail and particularly when a projectile hit Dan Magic smashing his face, many Ugandans out of concern sent me bullet proof vests and ballistic helmets, which I put on throughout the campaign period, and gave others to comrades. Indeed, if I did not have one on in Masaka, the story would be different. THANK YOU
There is another group of comrades who kick-started a fundraising campaign for a bullet proof vehicle. These comrades informed me of their plan, but I thought it was an uphill task, given how expensive it is. A few weeks ago, these comrades surprised me when they informed me that they had succeeded in raising enough money for the vehicle, and here it is. I can’t THANK YOU enough.”
According to prices of bulletproof vehicles from Toyota company which Kyagulanyi’s flashed car expected to be, the least price of such a car range from $100000 equivalent to 370,000,000 on a dollar rated at shillings 3700
Kyagulanyi who is waiting for the Supreme Court Judgement on 18th next month on the his petition against the fraudulent electoral process, he continued to assert Ugandans that his Party doesn’t get support from the Whites like the government and President Museveni alleges but the support they get is from Ugandans within and abroad.
“Contrary to what Gen. Museveni and his spin-masters love to say, this struggle to-date continues to be supported by Ugandans here and abroad. We are very, very grateful. Without your effort and support, we would never have been able to come this far” Kyagulanyi in his post.

A THANK YOU NOTE !
Good morning friends.
Let me take this opportunity to appreciate all friends in Uganda and abroad who have continued to support us in this struggle for freedom and democracy.
On behalf of the National Unity Platform, I would love to thank all comrades here and abroad who supported our campaign financially, to a point that we never lacked anything on the campaign trail. Some Ugandans gave as little as 500 shillings, as testament for their commitment to the cause. There are some friends who deposited money at petrol stations so that our vehicles never lacked fuel. THANK YOU.
Some Ugandans took it upon themselves to raise funds which supported our polling agents and supervisors countrywide. THANK YOU

There are those who have continued to support the efforts of our Secretariat in reaching out to the families of injured comrades, as well as those who are in prisons. You comrades continue to lift the burden off our shoulders, and for this WE ARE GRATEFUL.
Contrary to what Gen. Museveni and his spin-masters love to say, this struggle to-date continues to be supported by Ugandans here and abroad. We are very, very grateful. Without your effort and support, we would never have been able to come this far.
