“Obey your leaders. Be willing to do what they say. They are responsible for your spiritual welfare, so they are always watching to protect you. Obey them so that their work will give them joy, not grief. It won’t help you to make it hard for them” reads Hebrews 13:17.

This is what exactly voters in Busoga responded to on Sunday after one of their top leaders, Moses Grace Balyeku, Jinja West Constituency Member of Parliament told them to turn up in big numbers at the third anniversary celebration of his Jinja based radio, 87.7 Baba fm.

Though last year’s event registered the biggest crowd ever in the region, this time round, the set record was again broken by the same radio as fans from all walks of life flocked the do to the extent that the biggest stadium in the region, Bugembe, could not hold the overwhelming capacity.

In fact though part of the state of the art stage that was set up Vibes events had to be removed to create more space for the crowd that kept on flocking in like running water, still it did not create any difference. And by 10:00pm, for fear of causalities, the organizers had nothing else to do but to bar any more entrants. In fact it is against this that some socialites have asked the management of the radio to find them a more bigger venue come 2014 since Bugembe has proved to be too small for them as the number of fans keeps on growing day and night.
