Moses Kuria: Arsenal’s long-awaited title win proves Raila is in heaven

Former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has reacted to Arsenal’s Premier League title victory after the English club ended a 22-year wait to be crowned champions.

Arsenal secured the league title following a dominant campaign that saw them outperform their rivals, sealing the trophy in what has been described as one of their most significant achievements in recent years.

The win has attracted global attention, with football fans and public figures sharing reactions to the historic moment.

In his message shared on X on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Kuria made a personal and symbolic reference linking the football success to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, popularly known as Baba.

He suggested that Arsenal’s long-awaited triumph had, in his view, ended any lingering doubts about Raila Odinga’s spiritual resting place, implying that the wait and eventual success mirrored a sense of confirmation regarding Baba’s legacy beyond politics and life.

Kuria further expressed personal emotion in his statement, openly saying that he misses Raila Odinga.

“If there was even a shred of doubt that Baba went to heaven, Arsenal’s title win after a 22-year wait has put that debate to an end. I miss Baba,” he wrote.

Jalang’o’s reaction

Similarly, Lang’ata Member of Parliament Phelix Odiwour, famously known to the public as Jalang’o, shared a hilarious video of himself at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).

Taking to his accounts on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, the staunch Manchester United supporter playfully claimed he had checked himself into the medical facility to be administered water, citing utter exhaustion over bitter rivals Arsenal winning the English Premier League.

In the viral clip, the comedian-turned-politician did not hold back his mock despair as he addressed his followers directly from the hospital corridors.

“Niko hapa Kenyatta National Hospital nimekuja kuongezewa maji kufuatilia ushindi wa Arsenal,” a seemingly “distressed” Jalang’o joked, telling fans he needed an IV fluid top-up just to survive the football news.

Unable to mask his playful heartbreak over the Gunners’ triumphant top-flight run, the MP simply added: “I can’t take it.”

Jalang’o’s comical stunt perfectly captures the fierce, unrelenting banter that defines the English Premier League fanbase in Kenya.

The Gunners officially secured the 2025/26 English Premier League title following an extraordinary, high-stakes season that went right down to the wire.

Under Mikel Arteta’s relentless tactical brilliance, Arsenal maintained a blistering run of form throughout the campaign, blending defensive resilience with an explosive attack that left their traditional rivals struggling to keep pace.

Their ultimate triumph sparked wild celebrations globally, marking a historic return to the pinnacle of English football.
