Bobi Wine, not Burna Boy for Nakivubo opening - Khalifa Aganaga advises

With the grand opening of Nakivubo Stadium not so far away, it's becoming a scramble over the artists that should headline the main event.

About a week back, this website reported on the allegedly planned hiring of Nigerian heavyweight Burna Boy for the event, and it has since sparked mixed reactions.

Ugandan musician Sadat Mukiibi alias Khalifa Aganaga has expressed rage of the plot to ship in Burna Boy or any foreign artiste instead of the Ugandan-born and bred.

"It is a big shame and disappointment for someone who chose Burna Boy for the grand opening of Nakivubo Stadium," he said on his Facebook handle.

He has thus proposed for Bobi Wine to headline the act, as it would be more patriotic and a bigger marketing strategy for the facility.

"I prefer Bobi Wine for the grand Opening of the Nakivubo Stadium than a foreigner, Barna Boy," he proposed.

"If you want to market that stadium, I think he can do it better than your Nigerian star," Aganaga added.

"Ugandans have supported you even when politicians wanted to hire Chinese and other foreigners to reconstruct the stadium."

Aganaga ranted: "How can you give a Nigerian large sums of money to open up something with such Ugandan music history?"

Meanwhile, stadium developer Hamis Kiggundu has not confirmed any reports for the opening, reportedly set for midway next year.

In addition, because of their divergent political affiliations, it's mythical that Kiggundu can hire Bobi Wine for the opening.
