Deputy President William Ruto’s firstborn son, Nick rubbed a section of Kenyans the wrong after he criticized President Uhuru Kenyatta’s speech during the Jamhuri Day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens.

Nick was particularly unhappy after the Head of State asserted that Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) will bounce back someday.

“BBI is just a deferred dream. One day, someday, it will happen because just as the country cannot survive ethnic majoritarianism and exclusion, just the same breath it cannot survive unfair and skewed representation,” the President said.

The DP’s son went on Facebook to lash out at President Kenyatta, stating that his BBI remarks were “a distortion of history”.

“That line (a deferred dream) comes from Langston Hughes’s poem ‘Harlem’, which asks: ‘What happens when a dream is deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

“The poem is set in the early 20th century US, where a promise of American Dream was clearly not accessible to blacks who had been enslaved less than 50 years earlier. It was about dreams of autocrats which are not accomplished due to the resistance of the people, which is the case of BBI,” he wrote.

Within minutes, comments were flowing in and a majority were not kind at all.

Most of the reactions targeted his father, who has been accused of corruption and land grabbing.

The unforgiving netizens lectured the youthful High Court advocate, challenging him to explain what he does for a living.
With the comments section exploding, Nick had no option but to pull down the post.

A few moments later, he deactivated his Facebook page.
Lately, Nick has been campaigning for his father through his social media platforms.

In one of the recent posts, he trolled the President for abandoning his deputy and opting to work with opposition leaders.

He wondered the logic the Head of State was using, claiming that his dad singlehandedly helped Uhuru win the presidency in 2013 and 2017.
