Azimio Leader Raila Odinga.
Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga was on Wednesday forced to speak on the opposition coalition’s succession politics as he is set to quit the political scene and focus on the African Union Commission (AUC) chairman position.
This is after former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu asked the former Prime Minister how he had planned for his succession in the opposition coalition.
“Baba, how have you arranged? I have been told to avoid politics here, but I don’t think I can avoid it, and I know many of you will not ask. I have been with Baba for all my years in politics, so I will ask him. He should explain to us,” said Ngilu.
The former Governor urged Raila to organize the Azimio coalition before he exits the political scene.
“I want to ask you, Baba, organize us well. You organized us in 2002; you must do it again so that we know how to take this country forward,” Ngilu added.
Raila in response told the Azimio coalition to have any fears and assured them of his availability when needed even as he guns for the African Union Chairmanship post.
“I am not going away. Addis Ababa is only two hours away from Nairobi. I am available, whenever I am called, I will answer. I am ready to work with you people,” he said.
Further Raila said the Azimio coalition is unbwogable and does not need to be organized.
“Some of you may be forgetting we said we are unbwogable and unpangwable… therefore have no fear at all we will get there,” Raila added.
