The head of the Mayienga FM Communication Center, who made a name for himself in the Luo community, surprised many after he collapsed and died.
Several ODM party leaders visited him at his home in Awasi to console Amimo’s wife and mother. The deceased was expecting her fourth child.
His wife was caught in tears, leaving netizens to send her words of encouragement following the loss of her husband.
Was Festus Amimo nervous?
When his mother started to address the guests, she shared the reasons why she named her son and what the neighbors said because of the way he cried for Raila recently.
“That was my father, whom I loved, and I named him after him when he was alive. My father died in 1982, and my husband died in 1985. I think they will not leave me, and they will continue to pray for me. God is the greatest. People reminded me that he shouted when Raila died, and people came to his house. Did he not want death? So let him just mourn his son. I cried for Raila,” he said.
Amimo’s mother also recalled a conversation with her son where she confirmed that another prominent man would also die after Raila’s death.
“I heard him say that there will be another man who will follow Baba. I am not lying. He is the man who wanted to follow Baba. God be God. I thank you all; you have given me strength,” he said.
He also thanked the people of God who were preparing Amimo’s memorial and asked for continued prayers as they prepared to bury the journalist.
