Tuesday, February 22, 2022 – Businessman-cum-politician, Jimi Wanjigi, has pleaded with Kenyans not to vote for ODM leader Raila Odinga as the 5th President of Kenya, saying he will introduce dictatorship just like the late Daniel Arap Moi.
Speaking over the weekend, the ODM presidential hopeful accused Raila of running the ODM party in a dictatorial manner.
At the same time, Wanjigi accused ODM of openly defying the Constitution, saying it is a reflection of how Raila will govern the country if given a chance to be the fifth President of the Republic of Kenya.
“And all those officials who think that this a time for dictatorship, Kenyans are watching you and I can assure you how you are presenting yourself today is how they know you shall be (when president),” Wanjigi said.
He said the ODM’s National Delegates Conference scheduled for Friday and Saturday this week does not include the agenda item for the conduct of elections to nominate the party’s presidential flag bearer, a clear indication of how Raila does not adhere to the Constitution.
“The Constitution is also very clear that every five years there is an election of the presidential candidate of the party and party officials.
“But that has been excluded from the notice of the party’s NDC,” he said.
Wanjigi, who is seeking to give Raila a run for his money for the ODM presidential flag bearer, said he will not attend the NDC.
His remarks come exactly a week after Wanjigi sensationally claimed that he does not see the ODM leader succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is expected to retire in August.
According to him, Raila lacks the support he enjoyed when he ran for the presidency under the National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition.
