Businessman Jimmy Wanjigi has dared President Uhuru Kenyatta to take Raila to central Kenya to prove that their handshake deal is strong.
During a tour of the Nyanza region on Thursday, the businessman said the negative perception that the Mt Kenya people have against Raila Odinga is so strong.
According to Wanjigi, the wrong perception can only be cleared in the minds of residents if President Uhuru makes an effort to take Raila to central Kenya.
“The President should have taken Raila to Central three years ago after the handshake if he meant well for the unity of the country,
“It is very difficult to change the narrative planted in the minds of the people of Central Kenya about Jakom (Raila Odinga),” said Jimmy Wanjigi while addressing ODM supporters in Homa Bay county.
In his Nyanza tour, Jimmy Wanjigi also told residents that he is the only hope for the ODM party to clinch the presidential seat that they have admired for long.
He argued that he is determined to get to State House, even if it means ruining his long-term relationship with Raila Odinga.
“You must remember what Baba has been telling you all this while about the last bullet he has in his quest for power,
“That last bullet is standing in front of you now asking that you hold his hands and support him for the presidency,” Wanjigi said.
The businessman has been locking horns with other members of the ODM party, as he seeks change in leadership, eyeing the party’s presidential ticket. ahead of the 2022 General Election.
In the Nyanza tour, Wanjigi called out a section of ODM Party leadership for running shows without being democratic and involving members in critical decisions.
Before his tour to Nyanza, Wanjigi had written a letter to ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, protesting the party’s move to change grassroots leadership without following due process.
