Renowned media personality Lynn Ngugi has addressed an alleged campaign aimed at deplatforming her across social media. In a statement issued on December 7, Ngugi portrayed the attempts as futile and transformative, emphasizing that they have only amplified support for her work.
Sharing screenshots of supportive messages and a surge in subscriptions to her YouTube channel, Ngugi expressed gratitude to her followers. “This is how the campaign to cancel me by our retrogressive tribal king turned out,” she stated.
Ngugi also condemned the campaign as divisive and politically motivated, adding: “Say no to tribal fools. It will not work! Haiti did not work, Adani did not work, Housing Levy, SHIF, livestock vaccine, churches, bribes, AU. Nothing. Must go will go.”
The backlash stemmed from comments by a Twitter user, Dennis Ouma, who accused Ngugi of creating tribal content allegedly designed to fuel animosity against President William Ruto. Ouma wrote: “Lynn Ngugi, you are not a saint but a tribal content creator spreading the current hate of Kikuyus against President Ruto.”
Ouma urged President Ruto’s supporters and individuals from other tribes to unfollow and deplatform Ngugi and other Kikuyu creators, labeling them as “anti-Ruto.”
