Ahmednasir Abdullahi Rubbishes Mutahi Ngunyi’s Defection To Kenya Kwanza: “Defection Of A Poodle Is Worthless”

• Outspoken lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi criticised Mutahi Ngunyi for not being smart or strong enough
• The lawyer dismissed Ngunyi's defection, stating they were interested in 'the big dog' and not a worthless poodle
• In his defection, Ngunyi stated that he recognised President William Ruto's presidency, adding that he misjudged him

City lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has dismissed political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi's defection from Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party.

In the lead-up to the 2022 General Election, Ngunyi was a vibrant supporter of former president Uhuru Kenyatta's preferred successor, ODM leader Raila Odinga.

Ngunyi worked in the State House as a technical assistant to Uhuru before signing off after President William Ruto ascended to power.

The lawyer never missed a moment to throw jabs at Ruto as the rift between him and Uhuru continued to widen after the 2018 handshake.

First forward, the political analyst has changed tune after Raila's loss in 2022, pointing out that he warned Azimio about depending on the deep state to deliver the presidency.

On Monday, August 7, the lawyer declared that he had made the decision to shift his allegiance from the Rail-led outfit.

Taking to his official Twitter handle, Ngunyi disclosed that his defection to Ruto's camp resulted from a change of mind.

"Public notice: I have defected to William Ruto. I misjudged him using the Dynasty lens. But if the facts change, you must change your mind. And only a fool does not change his mind. I started project #HustlerNation. Now I must complete it. Iko swali?" Ngunyi tweeted.

In a quick response, Ahmedanasir observed that it seemed Ngunyi hated Ruto without an apparent reason.

The lawyer chided Ngunyi for not being strong enough to stand for what he believes in, terming his defection worthless.

"Prof, you were ordered or told to hate William Ruto. You were not strong or smart enough to think for yourself. The defection of a poodle is worthless. We are only interested in that of the master," he tweeted.

Ngunyi accepts he's 'gun for hire'

Earlier, Ngunyi admitted on his official Twitter account that he was a gun for hire after paying allegiance to the head of state, adding that he was a dog of war.

After ditching the opposition outfit, he swore to continue recognising Ruto as the head of state.

"For the record: I am a gun for hire. And then? What will you do about it? I am a dog of war. A dog for hire. A mercenary for the public good. I do not care about credibility. It never fed my children. What I know to be true is this: class war is loading. And Ruto is the driver," Ngunyi posted.
