Gagamel boss Bebe Cool has endorsed Cindy Sanyu as her candidate of choice in the Uganda Musicians Association presidency race.
Bebe made his announcement on Wednesday saying that she had trust in Cindy over King Saha whom she is tussling with for the slot.
In a press conference, Bebe told the media that Cindy had already demonstrated her capabilities as a good lobbyist and someone who can withstand many storms.
“Being president involves constant lobbying, interacting with the different stakeholders that include government. We need a president who can speak English for starters. I only see Cindy as the right candidate,” he said
Going on to say that, “I’ve always been so passionate about Uganda arts, artists, and the Ugandan music industry as a whole. I’ve observed and experienced all the ups and downs the Ugandan industry has faced. I have also witnessed different UMA presidents abandon ship before their terms of office expire because of challenges within the arts industry.
But Cindy even in the challenging Covid times withstood the pressure and kept moving. This resilience in her is proof she’s up for the task. Some artists might not agree with me because of their differences with Cindy but I believe those same differences forced other presidents to retire prematurely.”
