John Mbadi Threatens To Quit ODM Chairmanship
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) national chairman John Mbadi has come out to tell off his detractor in the party, saying he is ready to vacate the chairmanship position.
The former Suba south MP, now nominated legislator, said there is a section of people who are plotting for his removal as the Minority leader and are now hell-bent to push him out of the outfit’s leadership.
Mbadi who has been at the helm of ODM party for nine years, said he is ready to relieve himself from position to his detractors.
The outspoken lawmaker was responding to a sustained onslaught by a clique of opposition leaders that he has been snubbing opposition rallies convened by Azimio’s leader Raila Odinga.
“Those who think being chairman is so important to them let them offer themselves to lead. I am very ready to leave the position to them, right now I am the chair but I am not dying to be the chair. I have done my bit they took away my position as the minority leader, I am still alive,” Mbadi said at parliament buildings on Tuesday.
“They can still take away the chairmanship, but I will still be alive, I want to repeat it for the record, I want to leave this position for chair ODM.”
Mbadi however maintained he will not ditch the Orange outfit and will remain loyal to Azimio boss Raila Odinga.
The legislator said Azimio’s boss is already aware of his intention to quit which is now a matter of time.
He said he would have long resigned had the party had a vice chairperson to run the party in his absence.
“I am not a person to run away from the office before we get good succession, I want to be succeeded, and still I will serve the party in whatever capacity, you know some people think being a chair is something I am dying for, far from the truth, I have done my bit.
