His half brother may be the most powerful man in the world but unfortunately Malik Obama failed miserably to win a gubernatorial seat in Kenya's recently concluded polls....despite his very interesting Campaigning slogan which was; "Obama here, Obama there".
54-year-old Obama, who shares a father with United States President Barack Obama, won just 2,792 votes...some 140,000 behind the final winner in his bid to claim the seat for his home area in western Kenya.
Malik Obama, who describes himself as an economist and a financial analyst, told AFP on the campaign trail that he would use his contacts with Washington to bring development to the rural backwater he hoped to govern.
"Why would my people settle for a local connection when they have a direct line to the White House," he said.
Oga keep dreaming o
ReplyDeleteVery hilarious slogan I must say, Obama here, Obama there. LMAO
ReplyDeleteGet real Malik. So he thot he was actually headed for the government house. Well kudos to him for he tried and failed. You really never know if his Obama name may have bought him a seat. I guess his Obama here, Obama there slogan did not just ring true with the Kenya People. Better Luck next time!!!
