He said in a Tweet on Tuesday, January 31, that the ODM leader will make this country ungovernable just like he did to the previous administrations.
“Dear Ruto: You asked for the opposition. You got it. What is the problem now? Raila in crisis is like a fish in water,
“He will make this country ungovernable. Moi climbed down. Kibaki climbed down. And Uhuru climbed down. Bark less, bite in silence,” he said.
Ngunyi was reacting to President William Ruto’a remarks that the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party presidential candidate Raila Odinga had resorted to the use of blackmail to hold the country, hostage.
Ruto who spoke during an interdenominational prayer service in Kajiado County on Sunday, January 29, said by holding anti-government protests, Raila was only chasing personal and selfish interests at the expense of millions of people in the republic of Kenya.
“We will unite all our citizens irrespective of how they voted so that we can put to shame those who have the habit of using blackmail and threats to secure their personal and family interests at the expense of the interests of the millions of Kenyans,” the president said.
Earlier, city lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi had advised the President to take the bull by its horns and crack the whip against the former Prime Minister.
“We are such a banana republic that Raila and his ilk can contra-legally challenge the state endlessly, break the law of the land and we can’t do anything,” Ahmednassir said
