Singer and politician Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, has responded to the criticisms from lead pastor Aloysius Bugingo of the House of Prayer Ministry International. Bugingo has consistently voiced his disapproval of Bobi Wine’s beliefs and actions throughout the years, for reasons only known to him.
In the latest incident, Bugingo took aim at Bobi Wine for his donation of Ugx 1M, considering it insufficient given Bobi Wine’s influence and prominence. Until this morning, Bobi Wine had refrained from directly addressing Bugingo’s criticisms. However, he finally broke his silence with a cryptic social media post.
In his message, Bobi Wine quoted a verse from the Bible, specifically Matthew Chapter 7 Verse 15. He warned the people of Uganda to be wary of false prophets who pretend to be righteous. The verse reads, “Beware of false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Bobi Wine concluded his post by wishing everyone a happy Sunday.
Internet users quickly inferred that the message was directed towards Bugingo, given the ongoing rivalry between Bobi Wine and Pastor Bugingo. It’s evident that Bobi Wine has chosen this moment to respond to Bugingo’s criticism. Using the power of social media, he subtly conveyed his thoughts on the matter, cautioning the public about false prophets.
While Bobi Wine’s response was brief and indirect, it carried a significant message. By referencing the verse from Matthew, he urged Ugandans to judge individuals by their actions rather than their words.
This public exchange between Bobi Wine and Pastor Bugingo has attracted attention and sparked discussions among internet users. As the two figures continue to clash, it remains to be seen how this rivalry will unfold in the future.
