Unless you are a complete Babu Owino sycophant, it would be difficult to find any similarities between the controversial student leader and immediate former President of the U.S Barack Obama.
Heck, it would even be an injustice to Obama to have the two in the same sentence.
However, one Ndege Fredrick alias Ndege Serkal has compiled an interesting list of 17 similarities between the former POTUS and the Robert Mugabe of University of Nairobi (UoN).
