Ranguma singled out Kisumu senator and his main rival Anyang Nyongo as the person behind the propaganda linking him to Uhuru Kenyatta.
"They even used social media to spread photoshopped pictures to drive home their allegations of me welcoming the President at the Kisumu Airport," he said.
"Their plot was however thwarted when the Head of State changed his schedule and landed in the neighboring Homa Bay County before visiting Kisumu," he added.
Kisumu county is a perceived opposition stronghold.
