He tweeted;
I've responded to the unfortunate letter by the Chairman, Electoral Commission inviting for a meeting. A team is representing me, but every Ugandan must be amazed at the double standards at play! The EC must avoid being perceived by citizens as Gen. Museveni's walking stick! pic.twitter.com/5hAF8PMenx

Bobi in his response said, "I am unable to personally attend the meeting", as he mentioned among other things; "I will therefore be represented by a delegation led by Deputy President of the National Unity Platform for central region, Hon. Mathias Mpuga. The delegation has my full authority to represent me. It is my hope that the meeting will not be as futile as our previous engagments".
He also tweeted about the hypocrisy quoting, "Museveni was posturing should gather the courage to call him out on this hypocrisy!"
While my delegation is still at the Electoral Commission over what they call violation of SOPs, this is what is happening in Rukungiri! The religious leaders to whom Gen. Museveni was posturing should gather the courage to call him out on this hypocrisy! #WeAreRemovingADictator pic.twitter.com/0753Vhg5wB

However, Bobi was reportedly summoned by EC last week along with Patrick Oboi Amuriat, presidential candidate of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) over the constant breaching of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) hawked at curbing the spread of COVID-19.
