Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has called out on the visits by politicians to the retired President Daniel Moi for blessings.
The call out came after Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho paid a visit to former President Moi. This has been happening with a couple of more politicians visiting retired presidents including Hon. Raila Odinga among others.
The visits have sparked speculation of looming alliances with Moi’s son Gideon.
Raila met with Moi, saying he wanted to wish the former President well after he was hospitalised in Israel.
Observers argue that the truce between Uhuru, Raila and Moi has shifted the political landscape amid fears it is too soon to start 2022 campaigns.
However, popular lawyer Ahmednassir Abullahi has come out strongly attacking Governor Joho’s visit on Saturday.
Taking to his Twitter account he said, “How can the ugly/old political order inspire/bless the new/inspiring future? I don’t understand Kenya anymore!!! The blessing/endorsement by BABA Moi must be the kiss of death for anyone who wants to be our next president. @WehliyeMohamed @makaumutua @Paul_Muite @WMutunga”

His sentiments were embraced by some Kenyans who argued that Moi has nothing new to offer after his 24-year hold to power.
Here are some reactions
Respect the elderly. He was our President and life was soo much better than now. You cannot compare him with this kind of creatures we have now. Am young at age but nimekomaa kiakili. Don’t talk as if you holier. You have your dark side too.

I agree with you. Things were really bad during Mo1’s time but these years have taken it to another level. At least he built many schools after eating forests and parastatals. These duo have done nothing beyond PR and daylight thuggery.
