Friday, August 30, 2024 – President William Ruto better pray that his "project" Raila Odinga, wins the African Union Commission chairmanship seat, or else there could be trouble.
This was revealed by Makueni
Senator Dan Maanzo, who claimed that Ruto would be in a lot of trouble if Raila
lost the AUC seat, considering the amount of State resources invested in the
campaign.
Speaking during an interview,
Maanzo argued the State, based on how invested it is in the bid has been
counting its chicks before they hatch since in his view, it is too early to
determine if Raila will win or not.
At the same time, the Wiper
Senator poked holes into Ruto's development tour of the Nyanza region,
questioning whether this was wise considering that residents of the region will
be expecting the former Prime Minister to win.
"President Ruto has quickly
rushed to Nyanza but will be in a lot of trouble if Raila doesn’t get the
bid", Maanzo said.
President William Ruto began his
4-day tour to Nyanza on Wednesday, just a day after he officially launched
Raila's bid for the AUC at State House.
So far, Raila Odinga has the
support of Presidents Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania, Yoweri
Museveni of Uganda, and Salva Kiir of South Sudan. Burundi Rwanda and
Nigeria have also expressed their support for Raila.
Raila is seeking to replace
Moussa Faki of Chad whose term is ending early next year.
