A section of Ugandan artists have come out to support one of their own and  besieged opposition leader Bobi Wine.

Taking to social media the artists led by veteran Ugandan female singer Juliana Kanyomozi shared some words of encouragement to Bobi Wine who is currently under house arrest praising his for his bravery.

"You have come a long way Bobi Wine, and yet you are still standing. You have inspired an entire generation. To say I'm proud of you is an understatement. I take my heart off for you. Big ythank you to Barbie Kyagulanyi for always being your rock. Continue to walk in your calling. Be safe" posted Juliana on her instagram page.

On his part singer and Tv presenter Tuff B posted "@Bobiwine you have stood up for an ideal , acted to improve the lot of others and stricked out against injustice which has not only given hope but inspired a generation . our children will carry a message and your name to a time we will not see. A strong man stands up for himself but a stronger man stands up for others. Allow me say am forever inspired but have nothing to give you in return but here i make a promise to follow your footprint".

Spice Diana is another artist who also came out to support Bobi Wine, stating "Courage is contagious, when a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened and Bobi Wine has instilled courage in all hearts of those that persue dreams. We are proud of you Bobi Wine for the brave stand you persued and have succeeded at, you have had the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Keep your head high, we love you".

Adding "Thank you For inspiring a whole generation. It has not been easy but you have taken a sacrifice for all of us. Thank you. Journey continues".

Ugandan security forces have prevented the pop star-turned-politician from leaving his house shortly after he returned from voting in Thursday’s presidential election.

On Tuesday, Bobi Wine took to twitter to reveal that he has been under house arrest with an 18 month-old-baby whose food has run out.

“Day Six under house arrest and we’re still stuck with an 18 months old baby who had paid a visit to her auntie (my wife ) be4 we were raided & besieged. The Dad has been denied access to her. We have run out of food and milk. No one is allowed to leave or come into our compound,” he said.

On Saturday, the Electoral Commission chairman Simon Mugenyi Byabakama declared incumbent President Museveni the winner of the January 14 election with 58.64 per cent of the votes cast, while Bobi Wine was trailing with 34.83 per cent.
