Abedi Bwanika confronted Bobi Wine at a burial ceremony in Masaka, commemorating the late Paskari Sekasamba. Abedi accused Bobi Wine of what he termed ‘eliminating leaders’ such as Mathias Mpuuga.
He also claimed that the so-called NUP foot soldiers have been abusing him and his colleague, Mathias Mpuuga, online.
It should be noted that Bobi Wine had previously demoted Mathias Mpuuga from the position of Leader of Opposition in Parliament, appointing Joel Senyonyi in his place.
