Saturday, January 28, 2023 –Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga has renewed his war with the current government which he says should resign from office for subverting the will of the majority.
Appearing on an interview on Saturday January 28 morning, the ODM Party leader asserted that he won the 2022 elections with a whopping 8.1 million votes against William Ruto’s mere 5.9 million votes.
He also claimed that the whole country including people of Central Kenya voted for him overwhelmingly but Ruto and his agents of impunity decided to declare otherwise.
A visibly agitated Odinga told his host that, as a renowned Pan Africanist, he will stand with what the truth wants and that if stealing elections is bad in developed worlds, it should also be bad in Africa.
“Africa must not be judged with different standards. If something is unacceptable in other worlds it should also not be accepted here.
“William Ruto lost this election and I won,” Odinga confidently said.
He added that Ruto must, therefore, stand with what he has been prophesying about democracy, rule of law and Christianity and leave office so that the right tenant can occupy.
That the people of Kenya must be served with their will and that Ruto and his administration should respect the rule of law by resigning as soon as possible.
Odinga’s hard-hitting sentiments are coming at the time President William Ruto warned that he will not allow anybody to distract him from performing.
Speaking in Shauri Moyo on Friday January 27, the president alluded to attempts by some leaders to influence him into addressing their personal interests and those of their families at the expense of the whole nation.
“What I will not accept is giving in to the demands of some few people compelling me to address their personal and family interests and abandon the interests of over 50 million Kenyans,” he stated.
On the other hand, Odinga has lineup a series of anti-government rallies aimed at piling pressure at Kenya Kwanza administration to respect the law.
There next stop-over will be Nairobi’s Jacaranda Grounds where the opposition boss is also expected to address his hundreds of supporters.
