City lawyer Ahmednassir Abdulahi has reacted to former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s birthday message to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. 

The former Head of State on Saturday, January 7 penned a message for the Azimio leader and wished him good health as he turned 78.

"I would like to take this opportunity in the new year, to wish my brother and friend Raila Odinga a Happy Birthday. May God's blessings and favor be upon you today and in the years to come," Uhuru wrote on his Twitter account.

However, Ahmednassir Abdulahi took note stating that Kenyatta referred to Odinga as friend and brother not President. 

"...my brother and friend..." Not "...my President, my brother, and friend...," Ahmednassir tweeted.
