My Political Relationship with Raila is Over, Jimi Wanjigi Says After Being Forcibly Ejected from ODM Meeting

My Political Relationship with Raila is Over, Jimi Wanjigi Says After Being Forcibly Ejected from ODM Meeting

Businessman Jimi Wanjigi says his political relationship with ODM leader Raila Odinga is over.

This comes after Wanjigi, who is eyeing the presidency, was forcibly ejected from the ODM National Delegates Convention (NDC) at Kasarani indoor arena and roughed up by a group of rowdy youth.

The tycoon, who had previously declared his intention to square it out with Odinga for the ODM presidential ticket, announced he has officially severed all ties with Odinga and the Orange party.

“We were welcomed until we got into the VIP section. Secretary-General Sifuna organized goons…But I forgive them for they don't know what they are doing,” said Wanjigi.

“I hold Raila responsible…Raila Odinga, I thank you for the kicks and blows that I have received…Two families have decided there is no space for anyone to vie.”

Wanjigi urged his supporters to reject Odinga’s presidential candidature and warned aspirants eyeing the ODM ticket to join other parties, citing a lack of democracy within ODM.

He further termed Odinga a State project, claiming that President Kenyatta wants to use the ODM leader to extend his stay in power.

“I have given my life to Raila, I ask you to reject him. This is not the Raila Odinga I knew. This Raila Odinga is intoxicated by power…My relationship with him in the political arena is over…I have been shown the door, Asante ya punda ni mateke,” he lamented.

“Uhuru Kenyatta wants to continue in power through Raila Odinga…This is not about Raila but Uhuru who wants to extend his term.”

    Hahaha like anybody cares...maybe Ruto The Con does.. You were the cow that provided milk to Raila and ODM. Raila has since found other cows-not just one, to provide the milk. Anakunywa ile organic sasa. He does not need you. That's politics for you Jimmy boy.

    Mugikuyu, you summed it up ! That’s the best way to describe a conman. He found others to feed him milk.

    Wanjigi they liked what you gave them not you per se…pesa yako si wewe kama wanjigi. Try us UDA

  4. MamboFeb 27, 2022

    Surely Wanjigi can join the thieves of UDAku! You are really mistaken if you think Ruto is going any where. Ruto is more of a Moi past story than anything else. He is an impediment to Kenya’s development plan.

    Which arenas are you open with him?

  6. MwororoFeb 26, 2022

    You have been a sleep. Raila and his ODM have been very violent throughout. But you couldn't see clearly because you were one of them. You were one of the eaters at the high table. Stop crying and stand up like a man. Put resources where your mouth is and help us rescue Kenya from the jaws of the dynasties.

    One other man out is too many for the dynasties. Coming after all that propagandist vernacular talk in Sagana.
    What happened to Wanjigi at Kasarani is a continuation of bad things to come should Baba be rigged into the presidency.
    Despite, it will be a vicious fight between Raila and Uhuru. Raila and his goons will never allow a Uhuru joined government if they were to be in power.

    Useless man who thinks he can but he very body with his I’ll gotten wealth! He is one of those who have made kenya bankrupt with DP Ruto. He will soon join the UDAku gang of thieves.

  12. KamataFeb 27, 2022

    I wonder why even MWAKILISHI describes thug Wanjigi who should be hanged at the nearest tree as tycoon.The guy and his fellow elite gangsters including Kibaki,Ngilu,Uhuru,Raila,Joho,Ruto,Karua,all MPs,Senators,MCAs,governors etc are murderers.Their corruption has coursed destitution to millions of hungry billionaire Kenyans to the extent that they cannot afford food and medicines.RISASI TU.

  17. GuestyFeb 27, 2022

    Uhuru Kenyatta & Raila Odinga are tired. They need to exit the political scene.
    Kenya needs a new generation of leaders.

  18. Kora kaniniFeb 28, 2022

    “Uhuru Kenyatta wants to continue in power through Raila Odinga…This is not about Raila but Uhuru who wants to extend his term.”
    MOST KENYANS KNOWS THIS, THAT'S WHY THEY WERE PUSHING THE BBI.
    UHURU WANTED to do what PUTIN did in RUSSIA, becoming prime minister, then going for the TOP SEAT AGAIN.

    People don't change. Remember the provincial commissioner Waiganjo. God rest his soul in peace. How about his family Mr. Jimi Wanjigi
