National Unity Platform president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu known as Bobi Wine graduated with a degree in Music, Dance, and Drama (MDD) from Makerere University.
Despite holding an MDD degree, Bobi Wine has again added another academic document on his name after with a degree in law from Cavendish University in Kampala.
According to Bobi Wine, he first discussed the idea of attending law school 20 years ago with fellow artiste and lawyer Sylvester Kyagulanyi while they were both in the MDD department at Makerere University.
“ I was supposed to graduate last year, having completed all other requirements for the award of this degree. However, because I had missed a few lectures in one of the course units, I wasn’t allowed to graduate but instead subjected to another semester of re-attendance for that course unit. I took the new challenge with grace and ended up waiting for another full year to graduate. Many of my classmates graduated last year and the years before,” Kyagulanyi said.
He said recently, when new came out of his graduation “usual detractors got busy and made every effort to stop me.”
“Some people, ostensibly working for the regime and other detractors, went as far as petitioning the National Council for Higher Education. NCHE officials went to the University and demanded for every document regarding my studies, including my application form, admission forms, all class attendance records, written exams, coursework of all the years and my tuition payment records! It is after a very detailed and intense investigation that I was cleared to graduate today.”
