According to Buyu, the former Deputy President should not make Raila his agenda towards the 2027 general election.
“Raila Odinga cannot be his agenda if he wants to lead this country. What does he tell Kenyans what does he want to do to this nation? Talking about Raila being sick … who told Raila he was sick?” Asked Buyu.
Should Kenyans pray for Raila Odinga?
Speaking aside, Suba South MP, Caroli Omondi, called on Christians to pray for Raila to recover quickly.
