Second lady Rachel Ruto on Tuesday, December 21, wrote a heartfelt message to her husband, Deputy President William Ruto, who turned a year older.
In her message, Rachel appreciated the DP for the love and support he had shown her over the years. Further, she wished him abundant blessings and exceeding success.
Ruto, who is eyeing the presidential seat come 2022, is turning 55 years old.
"This day forever remains special. As we celebrate your birthday and our wedding anniversary, I can confidently say, Ebenezer – This far has the Lord brought us.
"Words cannot quantify the love and support you have shown. Happy birthday, and happy Anniversary Bill. I wish you God’s abundant blessings and exceeding success in all your hearts desires," she wrote.
A section of leaders, mostly allied to the Deputy President, also took to social media to write profound messages and wish him well.
Kirinyaga Governor, Anne Waiguru, who recently decamped to the DP's camp, was among the first to wish Ruto well.
"You have weathered many storms, withstood many trials, stood the test of time in the sight of friend and foe. May God bless and grace you on this 55th birthday as He leads you to your destiny. Happy Birthday," Waiguru stated.

"The man of the moment in Kenya. On this special day, The Hustler Nation wants you to know that they are behind you in their millions," Kericho senator, Aaron Cheruiyot, wrote.
Ruto is expected to visit Tana River County later in the day where he will take time to campaign for his bottom-up economic approach.
