Content creator Arap Uria famed for lip-synching ace football commentator Peter Drury is sparking mixed reactions on social media after his tweet went viral.
In the tweet, Arap, who is in Qatar for World Cup, shared a photo where he is seen holding a placard asking to meet the poetic commentator saying;
“Hello, Peter Drury, it’s Arap Uria. I am in Qatar and I would like to meet you.”
In his caption, the Youtuber, who boosts over 380k subscribers, also tagged Drury’s co-commentator Jim Beglin who has since replied wishing him well, adding that Drury will be meeting him later today.
“I have passed on your tweet to Peter. I hope it all works out for you. Good luck,” Jim tweeted.
Adding, “Peter will contact you tomorrow, Arap,”
Peter will contact you tomorrow, Arap. https://t.co/akJGuPPsq7

Yes, thanks Jim. Please make the meeting happen. He could actually inherit Peter Drury. As for our @moscakenya CS @AbabuNamwamba, please support this ‘Arap Uria’ guy. He has best of both worlds – talent and passion. Kenya no longer has great football commentators of yester-years! https://t.co/6P3SK3qtiW
