Renowned singer Ronald Mayinja has finally opened up on why he ditched the opposition National Unity Platform party to join the ruling National Resistance Movement party.
Speaking at a talk show yesterday on Urban TV, the Bizeemu singer famed for his controversial songs that are anti-government made a uturn at the climax of the just concluded general elections when he quit the National Unity Platform and emerged in the NRM, moments after he had been hyped for his ‘Bizeemu’ hitsong.
Before the 2021 general elections, credible reports arose that Mayinja had been bankrolled with over Sh300 million in payment, alongside a V8 Land Cruiser, to change from the NUP to the NRM. That was the time he formed the defunct ‘Peace for All, all for Peace’ pressure group that was aimed at neutralizing the boiling anger within Ugandans who were angry with members in government.
Mayinja, notwithstanding, is resolute that his crossing was spurred by his rejection of Bobi Wine’ s political philosophies. He encourages Bobi Wine to regard and respect his choices.
In a free- style he recently performed over the course of the end of the week in Boston, Massachusetts, Bobi Wine named various individuals he considered friends who deceived him by siding with President Museveni and his government. Mayinja was one of the people he mentioned alongside other celebrities.
In light of Bobi Wine’s comments, Mayinja affirmed that their conflict originated from the way that he didn’t share Bobi Wine’s political belief systems, however he gave no further details.
Mayinja added that his Gomba constituency was allegedly ‘sold off’ to the ‘highest bidder’ notwithstanding the sacrifices he had made for the People Power cause.
At the moment, Mayinja is a key mobilizers of the Muhoozi project and he has routinely performed at their rallies.
