Why Uhuru Was Absent at the Wedding of Ruto’s Daughers

President Uhuru Kenyatta was notably absent at the wedding of June Ruto and Nigerian Alex Ezenagu held in Karen on Thursday.

Uhuru and his Deputy, William Ruto, had been playing hide and seek for months until they met at the 18th Annual National Prayer Breakfast where their secret wishes and fears were made public.

The two bumped elbows and could be seen enjoying each other’s company even though the tension in the air was high.

Their meeting was unexpected and led many Kenyans to speculate Uhuru would be present at Ruto’s daughter’s wedding later in the day.

However, when the time came for June to say “I do,” and when cameras started flashing, Uhuru was nowhere to be seen.

It later emerged, the Head of State was attending a graduation ceremony at the National Defence University-Kenya just a few hundred meters from Ruto’s home.

Our sources at State House revealed the graduation ceremony was perfectly timed to coincide with June’s wedding.

“Everyone knows there is bad blood between the two we had to strategize how Uhuru could miss the wedding without raising suspicion. The graduation ensured the two leaders did not have to fake their connection during the wedding.”

The source also said the son of Jomo was allergic to some ingredients used to make the cake.

“He explicitly said he can’t attend a wedding if he was not going to eat, it beat the whole point.”

President Uhuru awarded a charter to the National Defence College, making the military institution the first specialist university in the country under the Universities Act of 2012.
