RAILA ODINGA’S ELDER BROTHER Dr. Oburu Odinga has distanced himself from the hard hitting Facebook posts ‘on his name’ disparaging the Handshake.
Reacting to a post ‘made in his name’ responding to the Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata over the BBI popularity in Mt. Kenya, Dr. Oburu said he is not the author of the said post and neither does he use the account ‘Oburu Odinga’.
“I am Dr. Oburu Oginga and not Oburu Odinga and I have never owned a social media account.”
“The only ones I am aware of are those group accounts run by my supporters for campaign purposes,” stated Dr. Oburu.
In the said post, he had unleashed a bare knuckle response against Kang’ata’s letter saying the BBI thing was not very important for his brother Raila Odinga and can be dropped anytime for other drama if triggered.
“Hon Kang’ata, we know someone wants to short-change Raila (sic) and he is using you to communicate a message to Raila.
“Do not think Raila is dying for that BBI thing.
“We can drop it before you do it.
“We are not fools as you think. We’ve survived all waves,” read the purported post by Dr. Oburu Oginga.
He has since asked Deputy President William Ruto and his team to stop politics of maligning other leaders so that to scuttle the thriving Handshake.
“How desperate can someone be by seeking to scuttle the “Handshake” through such means?
“By wanting to create a non-existent crisis to cause strained relations between the President and Raila Odinga?” he posed.
The East Africa legislator then asked Kenyans to ignore anyone calling himself Oburu Odinga saying his official title is Dr. Oburu Odinga.
