August 22, 2020, marked a significant shift in the relationship between Embakassi East MP Babu Owino and President Uhuru Kenyatta. In a surprising turn of events, Owino publicly praised the president, calling him the 'best president in the world.'
According to Owino, the president's humility and pursuit of what is right, rather than who is right, earned him his admiration. The MP took to Twitter to express his support for the president, stating, 'I wholeheartedly support H.E the President because he is pursuing WHAT is right. Today He gave my constituents title deeds. I’m your number one loyalist.'
Just a few years ago, Owino was a vocal critic of the president, but it appears that his stance has changed. The meeting between the two at KICC, where the president handed out title deeds to residents, marked a turning point in their relationship.
As Owino's tweets suggest, he is now a staunch supporter of the president, going as far as calling him the 'best president in the world.'
“UHURU IS THE BEST PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD. Pride is concerned with WHO is right but humility is concerned with WHAT is right! I wholeheartedly support H.E the President because he is pursuing WHAT is right. Today He gave my constituents title deeds. I’m your number one loyalist.” — Babu Owino (@HEBabuOwino) August 21, 2020
