Babu Owino Cautions Raila Odinga Against Supporting Sakaja For 2027 Election

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has warned Raila Odinga against endorsing Governor Johnson Sakaja for Nairobi Gubernatorial seat in the 2027 elections.

This he said while addressing the press on Thursday January 16th, 2025.

The Member of Parliament questioned Odinga\’s decision revealing that Governor Johnson Sakaja had never supported Raila\’s political career since 2007 when the former Prime Minister vied for Presidency up to 2022.

He has never wanted Raila Odinga, he wanted Kibaki, he wanted Uhuru Kenyatta in 2013 and 2017, this is a person who is not coming with clean hands. 

Babu Owino said.

This is a person who does not love Raila, he has never sacrificed anything for him, even going to Ethiopia is just a gimmick, so Raila should know better. 

The lawmaker added.

While stating, Babu Owino advised Raila Odinga to reconsider his decision and support him instead.

Not even Kidero did the worst thing Sakaja has done, not even Mike Sonko. Look at Nairobi the way things are. you cannot recover this. Nobody knows where the money collected from Nairobi city goes. 

The MP further said.

Babu Owino also expressed his frustration stating that he was not afraid of being kicked out of ODM as there is no problem even if he gets chased away from the party.
