Bobi Wine went on his Facebook page on Monday to refute the use of hashtag #boycottugandacranes that started when his concert named Kyarenga concert was left in balance.

“I have seen some friends act out of anger as a result of the Kyarenga concert cancellation by the Namboole management. Friends, I don’t agree with the trending hashtag #boycottugandacranes. Uganda Cranes is our national team in which we should always take pride and support with all our abilities,” the legislator wrote.

“Our national team is the mirror of the best and worst in us as a nation so all they need is Love and understanding, not condemnation. We are all Uganda Cranes and Uganda Cranes is us,” he added.

The concert which was originally scheduled to take place on October 20 at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole was then shifted to November 9 with claims of the stadium being booked by a wedding.

Earlier in a statement, Police  had asked Kyagulanyi to cancel the concert since it’s not on the calendar of events Namboole Management submitted to them.

However, there were no sign of a wedding Mandela National Stadium as management had claimed on October 20.

“It has come to the Federations notice that Mandela Stadium management has entered into an agreement to have a public event take place on November 9, 2018 within the stadium. In our opinion, any public event within the International football match period put the Stadium into an unacceptable standard to detriment CAF docking off points from the Uganda Cranes for the upcoming,” FUFA Chief Executive Officer Edgar Watson Suubi  wrote.

All these annoyed Bobi Wine supporters who then started a move to boycott the next upcoming Uganda Cranes match against Cape Verde.

This is according to the letter written by Management of Namboole Stadium on Thursday October 11, 2018, citing the stadium has been booked by two upcoming events including a wedding ceremony on October 20.

Singer turned politician Bobi Wine has had his intended concert cancelled.

“Kindly note the stadium has two pre-booked events namely Uganda Athletic Federation workshop from 15th October to 26th October and a wedding ceremony on 20th October 2018”, the letter reads.

Bobi Wine was therefore advised to select another date for the show in line with the guidelines of the Uganda Police.

On Thursday, Jamil Ssewanyana, the Managing Director of the Namboole Stadium confirmed that Bobi had booked the venue, however waiting for pending approval from the police.

“It’s true they [Fire Base Crew] have approached us, we have advised them to get clearance like any other event that we hold in the stadium. They [must] get clearance from police to hold such a concert… All events – football, the church, you know it very well, it’s clearance that is required…There are other activities on the day of the event and the person booking has to fulfil the requirements.” Ssewanyana said.

In a phone interview on Thursday according to the Observer, Ssewanyana added that the venue is however booked for other shows, however capacity to accommodate both is available if Police approves.
