Controversial Nairobi based human rights activist and blogger Boniface Mwangi on Sunday bitterly exchanged a war of words with his counterpart, Abraham Mutai over DP Ruto’s presidency.
The fallout saw Mwangi pen down an emotional message, outlining DP Ruto forced his family into exile, and how he is still in court battling with the DP.
According to Mwangi, he branded DP Ruto a thief and a murder, which forced the DP to take legal action against the activist.
Ruto and l are in court, he sued me for calling him a thief and a murderer. My family went to exile because of Ruto. Unlike you @ItsMutai, my opinions aren’t paid for, neither is my support for Kibwana. I believe he could make a good president. Tell your paymasters that! Thanks https://t.co/MTzTyO3ONT

More so, to make sure his family was safe, Mwangi alleged that he had sent them to hiding.
Mwangi was forced to open up after Mutahi accused him of supporting Kivutha Kibwana for 2022 presidency, yet the governor is allegedly working for a pact with DP Ruto.
Bro @bonifacemwangi your opinions may not be paid by Kenya Politicians but sure they are paid for by the American Carter Foundation among other international donors who fund your @Pawa254. Regarding your support for Kibwana, I can't stop you. Everyone has someone they believe in https://t.co/xEpOWkoui3

Abraham wanted Mwangi to agree that supporting Kibwana was also supporting DP Ruto, who according to Abraham, he is a thief who has been milking this nation.
It’s not a secret if you know about @ItsMutai but tell us more. @governorkibwana posing for a photo with the deputy president isn’t a crime but since you asked, if Kibwana joins Ruto’s camp,he loses my vote. Any presidential candidate who supports BBi also loses my vote. https://t.co/PZ5RCW4gx7

Why should l ask for evidence? If you @ItsMutai @RobertAlai have any evidence that @governorkibwana has done anything improper, please do share. If you’re going to accuse someone publicly then share the evidence publicly.
I am supporting Kibwana based on what l know. https://t.co/UwNwWrnVzw— Boniface Mwangi (@bonifacemwangi) November 22, 2020
Mwangi has since told Abraham off, by saying he speaks his mind and supports a candidate he believes is capable of changing Kenya, unlike Abraham, said to be attacking other politicians because he is paid to do so.

A FRAUD calling me Malenge. @bonifacemwangi climb down from the high moral ladder. https://t.co/i64WRA86ts pic.twitter.com/HTnmP3aPzs

I can be a Malenge but you are a FRAUD boni.@bonifacemwangi some of us know what happened with the funding from Ford Foundation to @Pawa254 but for the arguments sake, let this rest here for now. Kenyans atleast know who funds you. That's what this conversation is all about. https://t.co/i64WRA86ts pic.twitter.com/yUuHY4uDam

Boni @bonifacemwangi since you claim you are not sponsored by Wazungu, can you deny that Mugo Kibati when he was director of vision 2030 used to sponsor your activities when Kibaki was President? Tuko na receipts. https://t.co/i64WRA86ts

For the old times sake when this argument goes south remind me. Because you insulting me (malenge, twat..) is a sign of an argument going south. At that point, you should give a greenlight we get the big guns or we still play level one. I know about FORD Foundation bro https://t.co/AeQs9dpPyq

Mwangi has affirmed that he will support Kibwana’s 2022 bid, but dump him if he forms a pact with DP Ruto.
Some bloggers in Kenya make their living from blackmail and extortion. Their only asset is social media handles and a website to publish their lies if you don't pay them. I have nothing to hide. Mugo Kibati has never even bought me a cup of tea. Publish the receipts @ItsMutai. https://t.co/Y0JqVAZmZ8

More so, the activist has also said he will not support candidates who want the Building Bridges Initiative(BBI) to sail through.
A wise man changes their mind, a fool never. @governorkibwana supported a document he hadn’t read. Just like most Kenyans, he thought BBI will be a document to foster national unity not water down the constitution. Be wise @ItsMutai and change your mind when presented with facts. https://t.co/n5mzWrjIEP
