• Singer Yung Mulo pledged to donate Shs50 million to the government if he won Shs100 million to free NUP leader Bobi Wine.
• The musician expressed deep concern over Bobi Wine’s continued exile from Uganda following the recent general elections.
• Yung Mulo stated he has lost all contact with the opposition leader since before the national election day took place.

Musician Yung Mulo has said he would give Shs50 million to the government if he won Shs100 million, on condition that it allows National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Bobi Wine to return to Uganda and regain his freedom.

Speaking during a recent appearance on Galaxy TV, Yung Mulo was asked what he would do if he won Shs100 million. He explained that he would dedicate half of the money to making a request to the government concerning Bobi Wine.

“I would give 50M to the government and ask if they can allow Bobi Wine into the country and give him back his freedom,” Yung Mulo said.

Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, was a presidential candidate in the 2026 general elections. According to the account surrounding his departure, he left Uganda after receiving information that his life was in danger and has remained outside the country since the elections.

Beyond his wish to see Bobi Wine return, Yung Mulo revealed that he would also use part of the money to support charity initiatives, particularly in underserved communities such as Karamoja, where some people struggle to access basic necessities.

The singer further disclosed that he has not been able to communicate with Bobi Wine because the contacts he previously used to reach him are unavailable.

He said the last time they spoke was when Bobi Wine was still in Uganda, as the country approached Election Day.

Yung Mulo highlighted his concern about Bobi Wine’s continued absence from the country, as well as his desire to use part of a potential financial windfall to support vulnerable communities.
