Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto has said he cut links with ODM leader Raila Odinga after he realized the former Prime Minister doesn’t love God.
Speaking on Thursday, January 20, the deputy president said that he does not hold any personal vendetta against his 2022 presidential challenger.
“I don’t have a problem with him, I even helped him become prime minister. When I realized that he does not love God, I left him alone,” William Ruto said.
He further accused Raila, who recently announced that he will be giving a fifth stab at the presidency, of ever complaining about the church.
“If you find someone ever complaining about the church there is a problem,” he added.
Ruto ,who was in Kang’undo to popularise his bottom up cconomic model ahead of his titanic battle with the former prime minister, said he left Raila to Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
He however said that the former vice-president has gone through so many frustrations as a result of supporting the opposition leader Raila Odinga.
“I left him to Kalonzo and nowadays you can see Kalonzo has no hair because of his association with Raila,” Ruto added.
While courting the Wiper leader to join his political camp, the deputy president lauded Kalonzo Musyoka for insisting that he will not be supporting Raila in the August 9, General Election.
“Kalonzo is tired, he said he would not support Raila again,” he stated.
This comes barely days after the One Kenya Alliance co-principal maintained that he will not support Raila for a record third time.
“I am running for president because I believe I love this nation. I am running for president ladies, gentlemen and my fellow Kenyans because I have seen what fear, hatred, and mismanagement has brought to this nation.
I believe we will agree on the OKA flagbearer. There is no two-horse-race. Two antagonistic, toxic horses,” Kalonzo said.
