“I am Baba’s son. I have been extremely privileged to have met Baba, learned under him, and finally served him as his Secretary General for the last eight years. I will eternally be grateful for the opportunity you gave me. I have never had the chance to ask why you picked me. We have attended many funerals together, and I used to believe Baba would be present at mine. I often asked myself what I would say on that dreadful day when we would bury our Baba. Today, words fail me,” Sifuna said.
At the same time, the senator insisted that the ODM party would not play second fiddle to any other outfit in the 2027 vote.
Sifuna seemed to differ with the members of the ODM party who pronounced that the party would work with President William Ruto and eventually support his re-election.
The senator explained that the position Raila pronounced in September before his death would the position of the party as regards in the next general election.
“Baba Raila Odiga spoke openly to the country on September 22 to the ODM MPs. I asked leaders not to come up with non-existent statements.
Baba said that ODM must prepare for the 2027 General Election. To those spreading non-existent pronouncements, Baba wondered where you got all that from,” Sifuna said.
