Raila: It'll Be a Shame to be Recieved by Mike Sonko at the Airport

National Super Alliance (NASA) flag bearer Raila Odinga has called on Nairobi residents to vote for Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidates in Nairobi.

Speaking on as he took his campaigns to Nairobi’s Dagoretti North and Westlands constituencies, the former Prime Minister endorsed ODM candidate for Nairobi governor Evans Kidero, while dismissing Jubilee’s Mike Sonko.

Raila termed Sonko as unfit for the seat, telling his supporters to re-elect Kidero, as it would be a shame to be received by Sonko at the airport when he jets back in the country from foreign trips if elected as the president in the upcoming polls.

“I don’t want to be a President of Kenya who goes out for a meeting and on returning, it is Jubilee’s Mike Sonko that is receiving me at the airport. It will be a shame.” Raila said.

Raila assured his supporters that they have put up measures to ensure that Jubilee will not rig the August elections, urging them to turn out in large numbers and vote for him.

Kidero faces a big challenge from Sonko, who is believed to have a huge following in the city, after garnering over 800,000 votes in the 2013 general elections to clinch the senate seat. Kidero won the gubernatorial seat with slightly over 500,000 votes.

Other candidates in the race include former Gatanga Member of Parliament Peter Kenneth, and former Raila Odinga adviser Miguna Miguna, both contesting as independent candidates.

But instead some FAT Carnalities like FAT Albert (the Movie) and FAT Michael WANAPINGANA na yeye Psalm 133 hatimaye Kupingana na MUNGU. Bure Kabisa na Hawa NASA Champions BANDIA na Ukabila Wao wa Waluhya of "We Need 'Mundu Efe' our Man." Mediocre LUHYA Tribalism at its Worst of "We need(ed) 'Mundu Efe'."

You don't have to worry RAO. You will not be there to be received by the maybe Governor of Nairobi, Sonko. You will never be President. Utakuwa raia kama mimi.

For an educated person, Dr. Kidero has been quite incompetent and outright thief that he makes Sonko look good to people who would not have looked at him twice in 2013.

@GUEST 1

If Chirchir Arap Ruto helped a convict (Sonko) by a person voting about 51 times, what are we waiting for? Chirchir should be removed from the list of political candidates running for am elective office.

Ndugu Tobiko, where are you? The man who stole Ndugu Muteshi's land is running for office. I guess millions of Kenyan voters have a warthog memory - 15 seconds.

@Msema kweli - On the same breath,ask Tobiko to have your god and my uncle Ojinga to give the youth of this country what he stole from them when he had his Permanent Madness ( PM ) position and that is the KAZI KWA VIJANA funds which he used to buy the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nairobi fronting one of his former aides Carole Omondi.
In his home backyard, my uncle has no shame, he invaded the Kisumu Molasses Plant after lying to his people that it was their project. The Ojinga family ended up conning Kisumu people out of the project.
My uncle has lots of skeletons in the cupboard and I can go on and on. Simply put, your god Ojinga is a political conman.

What is more shameful is if Kidero gets re-elected. Who has not been harassed by the city Council workers or almost been trampled by hawkers as they flee from this so called kanjo. What about parking in Nairobi. People no longer come to the city as they have nowehere to park.The street urchins and their families terrorise pedestrains asking for money.Most regular estates in Nairobi have no running water, rich developers put up illegal buildings that keep collapsing mainly in Eastlands as if the lives of the poor do not matter yet they are willing to take their rent money.Garbage is everywhere the Nairobi river which the late Michuki made efforts to keep clean is now a disgusting eyesore.Tukutane kwa debe at this point anybody other than Kidero will have to do.

The big man syndrome yet again coming out of Raila. If he will not respect the wishes of the people, then for who will he be "ruling"? Dictatorship is seen to have started much too early.

@Vitendawili Ojinga:

Ndugu yangu, I don't have a "god" the way you want to assign one to me. I don't think we need Raila or Uhuru to straighten out the mess caused by Kamau Wa Ngengi and Kipkorios Toroitich Arap Moi. These two people ruined the nation of Kenya with their dictatorial tendencies and demanding loyalty and obedience from the vulnerable poor people of Kenya. We have to make sure that Uhuru and Ruto go back to their former professions before Toroitich groomed them to continue with his inefficiency and corrupt unjust rule.

When we become fully independent, (third liberation) Toroitich will be arrested immediately and asked to answer for the Golden berg financial scandal and all the atrocities he committed to the people of Kenya in Nyayo House. That is why the people of Kenya should make sure that Uhuru and Ruto are given forced political retirement come August 8, this year.

If I had to make a choice, I would choose the current Chief Justice of Kenya to take over from Kamau and Toroitich sycophants (Uhuru and Chirchir Arap Ruto) come August 08, 2017
