Saturday, February 12, 2022 – President Uhuru Kenyatta met with over 3,000 young people drawn from all the 47 counties in State House yesterday, where he shared with them how he plans to make ODM Leader Raila Odinga our next president.
Addressing the youths, Uhuru, for the first time, openly endorsed Raila’s presidency, saying he plans to hand over power to him after the August 9th General Elections.
According to him, Kenya will be safer in Raila Odinga’s hands, which is why he will do everything to make sure that Baba takes over the government.
At the same time, Uhuru disclosed that his Jubilee Party will officially join the Raila Odinga-led Azimio La Umoja Movement in a coalition pact later this month after holding the National Delegates Convention.
While endorsing Raila as his preferred successor, Uhuru dismissed his former ally and Deputy President William Ruto, saying he does not deserve to lead the country since he had no agenda rather than abusing people and riding on his successes.
“And because some were politicking while work was ongoing, we have said we want a coalition unit of like-minded parties and together we join Azimio.
“We have the candidate, we have the resources and the youth are together with us,” the President stated amid cheers from the youth.
The President lamented that Ruto and his confidants in Jubilee Party, mostly drawn from the Mt Kenya region, put his development agenda at crossroads.
He also noted that he was ready to actively campaign and secure victory for Azimio la Umoja, adding that the coalition would put the interests of the youth at the forefront.
“As they speak about the Jubilee Party’s death, you can also see what the party has been doing.
“We have been able to achieve much but there are some projects which are not complete, and hence as Jubilee (Party), we are now coming out of the office getting into real politics,” he said.
