I don’t tell Bobi what to do; I follow him around like a fan - Barbie

At the screening of a new National Geographic documentary film about the NUP leader in Los Angeles, Barbie was asked whether she considered stopping him from risking his life in fighting the Ugandan Government.

The 38 year old said she was in position to stop Bobi Wine, because at the time he was coming out to fight for the young people like her.

“I am a Bobi Wine fan,” she said to an uploading audience.

“… and we Bobi Wine fans just go where Bobi Wine goes.”

Itungo went to describe her husband as “very unpredictable.”

“You cannot know what he’s going to be tomorrow; I therefore never get to think about anything when he chooses to do it. It's never about me, it is always about the people and I am among those people.”

Barbie said however, that she was not surprised to see the large number of crowds following her husband “because he was young and he spoke the language 0f the young.”

On his part, Bobi Wine told the audience that he took the impulsive decision to start gravitating toward politics, after he was attacked one night in a bar.

The opposition leader has narrated many times how he thought himself to be untouchable at the peak of his music career, until he was attacked and punched helplessly by an armed, highly connected person at a bar.

That he says, was what drove him to start putting out politically charged music, and ultimately catapulted him into politics in 2017. 

Bobi Wine traveled to the US with his wife and children for the launch of the documentary which catalogs the events of the deadly 2021 general elections in Uganda.

It entails over 4000 hours of raw footage which was captured during the election season and has been edited and compressed over the past two years.
