National Unity Platform president, Robert Kyagulanyi , also known as Bobi Wine has scoffed at naysayers after getting his bachelors in laws degree.
Kyagulanyi was on Thursday among the students who graduated from Cavendish University.
Commenting about his graduation, the former presidential candidate said his journey started seven years ago in 2016 when he attended his first lecture in law school at the International University of University.
He however mentioned the journey has not been without challenges, including naysayers whom he said have been made to eat their words.
“ 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.”
Kyagulanyi said despite the challenges, he has soldiered on .
“I couldn’t have made it without the assistance and encouragement from my friends and family, and there is no better time to salute them than now.”
He applauded his wife, Barbara Itungo for encouraging him continuously through word and action “even when I dragged my feet for a few years. “
