Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo may have left the country without meeting President Uhuru Kenyatta when he shuttled into Nairobi to broker a deal with NASA leader Raila Odinga. State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu told the Star yesterday there was no request from Obasanjo to meet Uhuru. He was chosen because he is believed to have the respect of both Uhuru and Raila Odinga, his close friend. It was decided that Obasanjo was the best placed to deal with Kenya due to his previous interactions with Uhuru and Raila. “The government has also noted their calls for dialogue between President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga.
