"Blunder Kubwa": Nuru Okanga Angrily Reacts to Raila Odinga's Reunion With President Ruto

Nuru Okanga, an Azimio diehard has expressed his disappointment over Hon. Raila Odinga’s reunion with President William Ruto.

In a press conference with digital journalists, the vocal political commentator claimed the former Prime Minister betrayed his followers for accepting to work with the ruling government.

Okanga explained that Raila could have refused Ruto’s joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and remained in the opposition rather than betraying Azimio members.

” Amefanya blunder kubwa sana kwa mashabiki wake, ametutumia kama tissue…ukishamalizia unatupa kwa choo. Hiyo hatuwezi itikia, hatutakua tunafanya biashara moja every election na haina maana Raila kusema ako na umaarufu hii Kenya.” Okanga said.

Okanga reiterated that before Hon. Raila Odinga signed the Memorandum of Understanding, he had hinted at pushing for the constitutional amendment and disbandment of the IEBC board to prevent further election fraud.

However, he and other Azimio followers felt betrayed by the MoU deal. In his statement, he stated that although Raila agreed to work with Ruto, Azimio’s team should remain independent.

“Sisi wana Azimio tukae kwa nyumba yetu ya Azimio, watu wa UDA wakae kwao period. Ni nini tunasumbuana? UDA walichagua President na tukaelewa ni Ruto. Hiyo ndio kitu najua. President mwenye ako amekwamilia mamlaka, kwa nini yeye anaendea handshake kila mwaka? ” He posed.

However, during the event at the KICC on Friday, President Ruto stated that he had not signed for a coalition with the Azimio, but his main focus was to get support in implementing the promises he made for Kenyans during the 2022 campaign.
