Obama may snub father's hometown and family on Kenya visit

President Barack Obama arrived in Kenya to visit his father's ancestral home Friday. He was greeted by President Uhuru Kenyatta and other key officials at the airport.

There's one woman in particular who's hoping to see him: his 95-year old step-grandmother.

Sarah Obama still lives in Kogelo, a town that exploded with pride when Obama was elected president of the United States. But despite all the loyalty -- the town isn't on the president's itinerary.

Obama will be in Nairobi, about 200 miles away, at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit -- the capital city is home to a growing number of innovative tech start-ups. However, the other day a local Kenyan radio station announced -- or perhaps over promised -- that President Obama will stop by his father's village for a three hour detour; something the president's team denies.

Edwin Okoth, a villager, told the Washington Post if he's able to get close enough to the president he will introduce him to his son.

"I will tell him, 'This is my son, Barack Obama [Okoth].' "

One person who is positive the president will be stopping by is local witch doctor John Dimo. He claims to have a record for being correct. Apparently when Obama visited as a senator in 2006, Dimo predicted he'd one day become president.

See how Kenya is prepping for the president's visit:
