Kenyan President, William Ruto, has raised concern over the rate at which Nigerian men are marrying their women, hinting the possibility of causing brain drain in the East African country.
Ruto lightheartedly raised the concern while speaking at a wedding ceremony between a Nigerian man and his Kenyan bride.
As captured in a video shared on X on Thursday, the Kenyan President disclose that his daughter is also married to a Nigerian.
He challenged Kenyan men as he warned of likely brain drain in the future.
However, Ruto harped on the need to maintain and strengthen ties with Nigeria.
“My daughter is married to a Nigerian. This one now again is married to a Nigerian. And our guys around, I don’t know. Are our guys slow? So we need to balance this scale.
“Because at this rate, we are going to have a brain drain from Kenya. I think there is something between Kenya and Nigeria. So, we should build it further.” The Kenyan President said.
