What began as a light moment quickly turned into online speculation, with many attempting to attach political meaning to the incident.
In response, ODM Youth League leader Kasmuel McOure has stepped forward to explain what he believes truly happened and to counter the claims being circulated.
McOure argues that the growing narrative around the so-called cake incident is unnecessary drama created to tarnish ODM leaders.
He maintains that the uproar has been fueled by individuals eager to twist a simple action into a political statement.
According to him, anyone who has observed Oburu Oginga during celebrations knows that he rarely eats cake and, on the rare occasions he does, he avoids anything coated in sugary toppings.
He notes that the portion Oginga removed from his mouth was not the cake itself but the icing placed on top.
McOure insists that portraying the moment as a sign of defiance toward the President is misleading and meant to stir hostility.
He believes that those pushing this storyline are deliberately ignoring the ordinary explanation to gain attention and create suspicion around ODM's senior figures.
The youth leader maintains that the public can clearly understand the situation without relying on exaggerated claims.
He urges Kenyans to treat the matter as a simple personal preference rather than a coded political message.
According to him, the attempts to build a damaging story out of a harmless gesture show how far some actors are willing to go to create tension.
A recent video analyzing the scene further illustrates how the moment has been overblown, offering additional context to help viewers judge the situation for themselves.
