  • His dislike for Mr Odinga has seen him clash on social media with some of his close friends who support the former PM.

City Lawyer, Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has said that he would rather support President Uhuru Kenyatta's third term into office, instead of supporting ODM leader Raila Odinga's presidential bid.

Speaking on Sunday, the lawyer insisted that if President Kenyatta ran for a third term, he would whole-heatedly campaign for him.

"Personally...I will enthusiastically support/campaign for the THIRD term H.E is asking for rather than vote for Hon Raila," tweeted Ahmednasir.

This is another of his continued attacks on the former Prime Minister. His dislike for Mr. Odinga has seen him clash on social media with some of his close friends who seem to think otherwise.

The city lawyer has been openly supporting Deputy President William Ruto and his United Democratic Alliance (Party).

A few months ago, Ahmednasir said that President Uhuru Kenyatta was the biggest obstacle to the existence of a strong candidate to challenge Deputy President William Ruto, in the 2022 general election.

In a tweet seen by Nairobi Leo, the lawyer said the President had ensured that he was the DP's only opponent.

"The biggest impediment to the BIRTH of either a strong single candidate or a unified front against DP Ruto is H.E UHURU. Uhuru by DESIGN ensures that he is Ruto's SOLE opponent and will not allow either Hon Raila to escape his tight headlock or the One Kenya Alliance to flourish!" said Ahmednasir.
