Obama Set To Snub University of Nairobi… This Is The University He Will Visit On Sunday

President Barack Obama will not visit the University of Nairobi as demanded by its students through a letter drafted by their leader a week ago. This is according to an itinerary that we are in possession of.

The leader of the free world will, instead, visit Kenyatta University as part of his final tour in Kenya before he leaves for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Sunday afternoon.

The University of Nairobi had made headlines when its student leader, Babu Owino, drafted a very controversial letter addressing the US President, giving reasons why he should visit the UoN upon his arrival in the country.

In the letter, Babu Owino said that a number of University of Nairobi students had threatened to commit suicide if Obama does not visit the UoN and address them.

He also said that close to 31 female students had also threatened to urinate publicly on a tree the most powerful man planted in the UoN compound when he visited Kenya as a Senator of Illinois in 2006.

President Uhuru Kenyatta rubbished aside Babu’s letter and instead invited him to State House.

News of Obama’s visit to Kenyatta University has been received well by the institution’s students. Those we talked to said that it will be a gesture that Kenyatta University is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

Edwin Bosire, a fourth year education student at the university said, “This is a great honor for KU to be the first Kenyan University to host a sitting American head of state. It will leave an historic impression and it means a lot to all of us, the students and staff.”
