Central Organization for Trade Union (COTU) boss Francis Atwoli is now seeking God’s protection against William Ruto insults on his Catholic Rosary.
This is after the deputy resident indirectly insulted the vocal trade unionist for claiming that Ruto will not be announced the fifth president even if he wins in the August 9, 2022, General Election.
During his visit to the vote-rich Western region last week, the deputy president who spoke at Kona Mbaya in Likuyani Constituency, Kakamega County, without mentioning names referred to COTU boss Francis Atwoli as ‘Mzee wa nyororo.’
“Yule mzee wa nyororo alikuwa anasema ati mimi sitafika kwa debe …Sahi wameanza propaganda ingine ati ata huyu deputy president akishinda kura ‘Deep State’ na ‘system’ haiwezi kubali atangazwe kuwa president,” William Ruto ostensibly hit back at Francis Atwoli.
But Atwoli, a fierce critic of William Ruto on Wednesday, January 12, took to his social media claiming that his Catholic golden Rosary is under attack.
Atwoli while asking God to fight for his battle appeared to avoid trading barbs with presidential hopeful William Ruto.
“My Catholic golden Jesus Christ Cross officially blessed by a priest in my neck is under attack, May the Lord Jesus fight for me as the denial on holy Rosary I donated at the Hague was equally rubbished. We pray to the living God. Amen,” Atwoli said in a Tweet.
The unionist, who has on several times insisted that the deputy president will not succeed retiring President Uhuru Kenyatta, recently said he was misquoted.
In an interview with NTV on Sunday, January 9, Atwoli denied allegations he has plans to deny Deputy President William Ruto from becoming the president.
“If you have won an election, you have won, it is covered in our constitution, and you will be the president of the Republic of Kenya,” Atwoli said.
