Musician turned Politician Robert Kyagulanyi a.k.a Bobi Wine became a sensation when he rose from the ghettos of Kamwokya bringing with him a manifesto like no other. Bobi Wine has been popular for leading out what he termed as "the struggle" to make Ugandan politics greater by overthrowing the current president whom he labeled a Dictator.
A lot has happened and over time, a few youths seem to be loosing their earlier on displayed vigor for the struggle considering the recent happenings in the Country. With their leader facing harsh criticism and death threats from the first son, they are not as fired up as they were in the beginning.
Many political figure heads have come out to state that a Country like Uganda needs a head strong leader with an iron hand and some are of the view that in as much as Bobi Wine is widely loved, he is simply not ready to take on such a responsibility. One of these people happens to be Frank Gashumba.

Yesterday, the National Unity Platform president with a few acquaintances including Commedian Kapere flew off to Dubai and pictures of them leaving Entebbe International Airport surfaced online. On his agenda, he is meant to meet with Ugandans working abroad in Dubai
While a section of his fans were heaping praises on Bobi Wine for being a down to earth leader, there were a few people who saw this as a loophole in the leadership etiquette of the ghetto leader.
Ugandan businessman and political analyst Frank Gashumba is one of the people who came out to say this act did not sit right with him, stating that a person who is serious about the struggle he had constantly preached about should not be upping and going on trips leisurely.
According to Frank Gashumba, the real struggle requires a lot of self sacrifice and considering the recent happenings, it seems like Bobi Wine is not ready to self sacrifice on behalf of the people he is leading.
Gashumba based all this off the injustice that opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye is currently facing, saying that everything he is going through is what defines a revolutionary leader, one who puts everyone else first without even thinking about himself.
According to Gashumba, Bobi Wine does not have the right state of mind to rule Uganda as he is not ready to offer sacrifices for the struggle unlike Besigye who is always unceasingly sacrificing himself for the sake of the people.
In other words, Gashumba believes Bobi Wine is still lacking in the are of solidarity and self sacrifice, which happen to be necessary prerequisites of an opposition leader.
