Gor Mahia clinched their 16th Kenya Premier League title on 21st October 2017 after a 1-0 win over Ulinzi Stars at Kericho Stadium, thanks to Meddie Kagere’s lone goal in the first period.

Moments later, President Kenyatta posted on Twitter congratulating the champions who have four matches to spare.

Congratulations @OfficialGMFC on winning the 2017 (and a record 16th) @TheOfficialKPL title with four games left to play in the season. — Uhuru Kenyatta (@UKenyatta) October 21, 2017

This did not go well with some K’ogalo fans who viciously attacked the commander in chief.

They called upon Kenyatta to consult Raila Odinga before congratulating the team, others commented that unless Odinga confirms the news, all remains null and void.

Here are some of the comments

The battle for the second, third and fourth slot is likely to go down the wire since five clubs are separated by mere six points.
