Mutahi Ngunyi Responds To Ahmednasir With Twitter Block After Week Of Heated Exchange: "Rasputin Career"

• Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi accused political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi of lying to people that he was a professor, yet he possessed only two basic degrees
• Harsh sentiments by the outspoken lawyer come after a week of heated Twitter exchanges with Ngunyi
• Their differences began after Ngunyi posted a series of tweets regarding the 2022 presidential elections

Nairobi - Week-long Twitter spat between lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi and political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi seems to have taken a different angle.

Why Ngunyi blocked Ahmednasir on Twitter

At some point, Ngunyi said he was enjoying Ahmednasir's insults even though the lawyer was not being clever enough in his alleged insults.

"My friend Ahmednasir Jambo. I am enjoying your insults. But they are not clever. Please insult my intellect. Not like a bitch. Please. Man up," Ngunyi said.

Ahmednasir had earlier claimed the political analyst was diluting President William Ruto's brand through his tweets.

"This today exhibition cheapens and dilutes the brand of William Ruto. Office of the President must get an injunction stopping Prof Ngunyi's extravagant bootlicking!" Ahmednasir said.

When the heated exchange seemed not to be ending soon, Ngunyi decided to block the outspoken lawyer.

However, Ahmednasir didn't take the move lightly as he responded with more harsh statements.

He wondered why Ngunyi blocked him, yet he had not told the world that he only holds two degrees despite claiming to be a professor.

"I didn't tell the world he had only two basic degrees but claimed to be a Professor. Everyone knew he had a BA(3.2.2) and an MA from Nairobi only despite falsely claiming the title of "Professor". I played no role in ending his Rasputin career," he said.

The senior counsel asked Kenyans not to follow Ngunyi on Twitter, alleging that he has been spreading tribal hate for 30 years.

"Don't follow him on Twitter...never saw any sense in the vile atrocious tribal hate he spewed for 30 years," he added.

Why Ahmednasir downplayed Ngunyi's defection

Meanwhile, the outspoken city lawyer dismissed 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.

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.

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.
