Big size singer Bebe Cool thanked musicians and entertainers for turning up to support M7 ahead of 2016 presidential elections. Below is what he posted on his wall;
Bebe Cool: I want to thank all musicians, comedians, actors and actresses, radio and TV personalities, members of the press for the time they put in yesterday during the unveiling of the TUBONGA NAWE song. One may wonder why TUBONGA NAWE. The entertainment sector joined hands this time around to execute appreciation towards what is visible to our fellow Ugandans, the development of the entertainment industry of Uganda. This has been mainly because the present government (NRM) has put an environment that has favoured several businesses to grow. Yesterday a musician/comedian was not a person to respect by our community but if u look today, we r totally respected in all aspects. There has been major growth of our sector in the last 25 years that we today compete beyond borders representing our country and carrying our flag high with pride. [adrotate banner=”3″]
Jobs have been created and many Ugandan youths have individually earned a permanent living. Our industry is now a major channel through which the government can earn taxes if it is organised and protected even more. We as the entertainment sector organised this dinner to thank HE the president of Uganda YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI for the contribution he has done to our country and to reassure him our support come 2016 campaigns. You may not have seen that specific artist u support during the function but not everyone one could be able to make it but all were represented faithfully. Just like hotels, taxi drivers, business men, bodaboda men, farmers, teachers, doctors etc have for a long time invited and had meetings with HE, it was high time our fraternity did the same. In my language Luganda they say, ENTASIMA EBULA AGIWA. If u wanna be rich, dine with the rich If u wanna be successful, dine with the successful As they say birds of the same feathers……… And lastly they say if u can’t beat them,…….. And don’t forget u reap what u …….. Remember musicians are Ugandans and they too have a right to choose a political side and vote too. Thank you your excellence YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI and first lady mama JANET MUSEVENI for accepting our invitation.
