Written by admin on August 19, 2024
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga and ODM National chairperson Gladys Wanga on Monday, August 19 warned Azimio leaders questioning Raila Odinga’s commitment to the opposition.
Speaking during a press briefing, Governor Wanga said some individuals were arm-twisting the former Prime Minister to endorse them as he aims for the AUC top job.
Wanga said the ODM party would not allow the use of Raila’s AU bid to make ill-intentioned remarks on Azimio matters.
“As a party, ODM will not accept any continued attempts to use Raila Odinga as a human shield, any continued attempt to arm-twist him into endorsing anybody at this stage, or any continued attempt to use him as an excuse for the failure of leadership in individual constituent parties of Azimio,” said Wanga.
She added, “And we will not accept the use of Raila’s bid for AUC chairmanship to be used to pass ill-intentioned remarks disguised as well wishes and to arm-twist him on Azimio matters.”
The Homa Bay Governor insisted that ODM will continue to play its opposition role and will not engage with anyone acting in bad faith and with ulterior motives.
Further Governor Wanga mentioned that some people in the opposition are trying to wrestle the leadership of the houses of Parliament from ODM.
“They are hiding behind the three gentlemen and one lady who joined the government and using it to try and wrestle the leadership of the houses of Parliament from ODM. We find that unacceptable,” she added.
