Kenyans unleash their anger on popular X personality Osama Otero for hosting President Ruto on Space

Otero, who has been one of the most diehard anti-Ruto voices on X, and who also was abducted and later released at the height of the Finance Bill demonstrations, on Friday, July 5 hosted a Space intended to parallel the President's own Space, even after promising his followers and Kenyans in general that he would sabotage the Head of State's X convention.

However, things took a rather drastic turn soon after Ruto's Space had kicked off, with Otero quickly admitting the President - and State House spokesperson Hussein Mohammed - into his own Space and even allowing them to address members.

This move, coming from someone who had recently sustained almost unparalleled opposition against the Kenyan government, caught many unawares, with thousands of his followers shocked at his sudden about-turn especially after he had promised to counter Ruto's own Space alongside his colleagues.

On the same day President Ruto would be hosting his Space, Otero was to also host a parallel Space alongside fellow X personality Kimuzi. The move had been welcomed by thousands of Kenyans, with many looking forward to the showdown ahead.

Otero himself had cautioned people against joining the President's Space, offering an alternative and repeatedly inviting everyone to the President's big humiliation.

"Believe me not that President Ruto space plus his cabinet will cost not less than 50 million. Kila CS atasema alispend 1million on a good laptop microphone and data..." Otero tweeted.

And to further demonstrate his opposition to the Ruto Space, Otero asked, "Jamaa anatuletea goons offline then anataka kutuletea goons online?"

On the material day, however, tweeps were caught flat-footed with Otero appearing to be co-hosting the same space with individuals he had spent the better part of last month tirelessly fighting - even getting abducted and tortured.

Otero's planned co-hosting Kimuzi was one of the most disappointed Kenyans, tweeting, "Otero alikua anajua Beasely Kamau on a personal level. Leo Beasely Kamau is being buried. Otero alipost akishow wasee they attend his burial today kirende. Alafu anahost William Ruto. The guy who ended Beasely Kamau's life through police. Hamjajam enough? Right?"

Hanifa Adan, too, did not hide her anger at Otero. Tweeting out a fireball of expletives aimed at him, she finished off," Shameless bastard! "

T. R Okuna, yet another X personality also expressed his dismay, saying, "I am not as disappointed with the sellouts. They are weak: it's the scoundrel's constitution. What I am disappointed about is that they will come back, after dancing on your graves & you will still give them an ear. And laugh with them, & they know it, & they are counting on it."

Things got even spicier after it appeared that even Jamia Mosque was sending subliminal attacks.

They simply tweeted: “…and that Allāh does not guide the plan of betrayers.” (Quran 12:52)."

On Otero's Space, the President got to say a few words before technical issues threw things off balance, again.

“I want to apologise for the last hour we have not had a proper connection due to technology. I apologise,” he said.

While addressing an issue that he was out of touch with reality, Ruto defended himself that he only acts on information that is credible from the relevant authorities.

“I have the benefit of more information in my hands. What I cannot do is operate on numbers that have no basis. I said 25 Kenyans died out of protests. Some reckless people have put the numbers all the way to 100. Others said there was a massacre in Githurai, that was not true,” Ruto said.
