Raila Declares Himself "President of the Republic of Kenya" on Twitter

National Super Alliance (NASA) Leader Raila Odinga has declared himself "President of the Republic of Kenya" following the controversial "swearing in."

Odinga took oath at Uhuru Park Grounds in Nairobi on Tuesday at about 2.45 pm in a ceremony skipped by his co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang'ula.

“I Raila Amolo Odinga in full realisation of the high calling [to] assume the office of the people’s president of the Republic of Kenya, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the people and the Republic of Kenya; that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Kenya, as by law established, and all other laws of the Republic as adopted by the people of Kenya; that i will protect and uphold sovereignty, integrity and dignity of the people of Kenya. So help me God," Raila recited the oath administered by Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang' and former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna.

Moments after taking the oath, Odinga updated bio on his official Twitter handle to read, “This is the official account of The Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, President of the Republic of Kenya.”

Raila is the president of the NRM which today was declared a criminal gang similar to Al Shabaab. In that case, he better begin to dodge those bullets. Known terrorists are eliminated and he is one. Miguna, it’s time to run to Canada. You declared yourself the NRM general; but Canada may not accept you.

Readers, pardon me if l am wrong. Like me, are ya’ll suspecting that this guy is in early stages of dementia? It is very much unlike the Raila that l knew to be acting like this.

“I ‘Joshua’ in full realization of the radical calling to forcefully assume the office of the people’s president of the Republic of Kenya, do swear that I will be unfaithful and bear false allegiance to the people and the Republic of Kenya; that I will abandon, destroy and endanger the Constitution of Kenya, as by law established, and all other laws of the Republic as adopted by the people of Kenya; that I will harm and obstruct sovereignty, integrity and dignity of the people of Kenya. So help me Joho.
