Ugandan Musician and Politician Bobi Wine has claimed Khalid Aucho's dismissal from the national team can be linked to his political stand.
The Federation of Uganda Football Associations claimed the Misr Lel Makkasa star was omitted from the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers squad on grounds of indiscipline, a notion that Wine has dismissed.
The midfielder has openly defended the politician in the past through social media posts especially before the national elections which the musician-cum-politician sought to unseat President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
