Prominent city lawyers Ahmednasir Abdullahi and Donald Kipkorir on Tuesday clashed on Twitter over divisive takes on ODM Leader Raila Odinga.
Heated exchange
The two lawyers continued with a heated debate that had started on Monday after Kipkorir took issue with what he termed as Abdullahi’s obsession with insulting Odinga.
“Dear @ahmednasirlaw .... Have you realized you are the Only Lawyer who has tweeted & denigrated Raila Odinga since 2013? That no Kalenjin or Kikuyu Lawyer abuses Baba? If the owners aren’t, what is your cause of action? If Baba ate your camel, send us the invoice we pay,” the lawyer tweeted.
Abdullahi, a Senior Counsel, hit back – denying that he constantly insulted the Prime Minister but also accusing Kipkorir of overpraising Odinga.
“When I challenged my Friend @DonaldBKipkorir to substantiate his constant tweeter refrain that I ABUSE baba as my default mode he posted this. Do I have to say more? Of course I don't praise baba like Don does every 3 mins, but I don't abuse him either as Don alleges every 2 mins.”
“MAN UP...YOUR ARE NOT MANLY in your Praise for baba...you can't be competing with his wife and family...it isn't MANLY...” Abdullahi stated.
The tweet did not go down well with Kipkorir who attacked his colleague with a harsh tweet bearing religious undertones.
“Thought you were in Mecca observing one of the Holiest rituals in Islam!!!! SAD, you are thinking about Baba instead of thinking about Allah! Your mind ought to be on Heavenly thoughts & getting the 72 Virgins & not Temporal matters of 2022! Focus,” the lawyer hit back.
Abdullahi is a Muslim faithful who earned the nick name Grand Mullah for his understanding of Islamic law.
