The post, made on Tuesday evening, May 19, 2026, comes as Kenyan social media erupted in celebrations following Arsenal’s Premier League success. Nyoro wrote:
Sisi Kama Manchester United.
We are African and Africa is our Business.”
The message quickly drew a flood of replies, mostly from Arsenal supporters who seized the opportunity to troll the outspoken MP and Manchester United fans over the Red Devils’ recent struggles. Replies ranged from memes and jokes about United’s prolonged trophy drought to playful demands for a “guard of honour” and reminders of Arsenal’s dominance.
Nyoro, a vocal supporter of Manchester United, has a history of blending politics with football passion on social media. He has previously celebrated United victories over Arsenal and used club banter to engage his large following. As an entrepreneur, published author, and MP for Kiharu Constituency in Murang’a County since 2017, Nyoro frequently weighs in on economic and governance issues while maintaining a relatable public persona.
The timing of Nyoro’s appeal coincides with heightened national conversations around fuel prices, cost of living, and other economic pressures. Just days earlier, the MP had proposed measures to lower fuel costs, including zero VAT on fuel and subsidies, amid ongoing concerns from transport operators.
While many appreciated the attempt to steer discourse toward serious topics, the overwhelming online reaction underscored the deep passion Kenyans have for English Premier League football, which remains massively popular across the country. Critics in the replies accused the MP of only calling for calm when his team was on the receiving end, while United loyalists rallied behind the post.
