President Uhuru Lights Up The Internet With Tight Embrace To Zain Verjee

President Uhuru Kenyatta was the talk of town on Friday after an image of him embracing former CNN News anchor Zain Verjee went viral.

The head of state had tongues wagging over the photograph take during the fourth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly at the United Nations headquarters, Gigiri.

Looking on were other dignitaries including former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Kenyans online were just as excited to see the photo as was Kenyatta to see Verjee.

Here are some of the hilarious reactions:

@Zain_Verjee I hope you also hugged Raila Odinga. He is looking like those “can I also get a hug” type of niggaz …

Uhuru looks like that big guy who will hug your girlfriend and lift her off the ground …Rao looks like the bf to that girl

Uhuru felt it kabisa. But that’s not the issue!
Look at Baba, pia yeye apewe tu hata kama ni nusu in the spirit of handshake. He is counting down otherwise he forces the hug 🤗 pic.twitter.com/SLih1w4wVI

You folks, take a leaf from President Uhuru Kenyatta , this is how one hugs a lady, a full embrace, not those fleeting hugs as if one fears to be associated with the lady hahaha.@UKenyatta is indeed a digital president pic.twitter.com/mL09X7NGL7
