Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi, Popularly known as Bobi Wine, has distanced himself from the #Boycottugandacranes hashtag trending on twitter, in revenge of the Kyalenga concert cancellation.
I dont agree with the hashtag #boycottugandacranes which is trending as a result of the Kyarenga concert cancelation by Namboole. The uganda cranes is our national team in which we should take pride. All these young men need is love and support not condemnation.

Sections of the public including musicians have taken to social media, threatening to boycott Namboole activities and Uganda Cranes games , accusing the stadium authority of frustrating Bobi Wine’s concert.
Initially, the stadium’s management had cleared Bobi Wine to reschedule his concert for November 9.
However, the football governing body in a letter signed by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Edgar Watson Suubi halted the concert citing CAF sanctions.
Bobi Wine also fired back at Namboole stadium management and FUFA—accusing them of being used by the state to frustrate his concert.
“To the administrators of Namboole stadium, officials of FUFA and others who are used in these kinds of dirty games, please know that Ugandans are watching,” Bobi Wine posted on social media.
He added that “no matter how much pressure you get from the regime, always do your job without fear or favour. Namboole belongs to Uganda. It is not private property. The positions you hold there are public positions. You must never use them against the people.”
