Thursday, March 7, 2024 – Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s ODM is now as it used to be. This was revealed by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, who lamented a lack of love in the Orange party.
Speaking during an interview, the outspoken legislator
claimed that the animosity from some party members was politically
orchestrated.
He attributes the hate to his strong stance in demanding
backing for a party position in the National Assembly.
Nonetheless, Babu Owino clarified that despite the fallout,
his relationship with party Leader Raila Odinga was still intact.
According to him, the in-party rivalry would not bar him
from delivering for his people, insisting that he would continue looking at the
bigger picture.
“I know very well I am not in love with the party, but that
does not stop me from loving the party leader. I am looking at the bigger
picture,” Babu stated.
"I told myself that I love my leader, let me just love
him the way he is. Sometimes I cannot be loved, something which is okay, and
that is God's will," he added.
While stating the reason for not going public over such
concerns, the lawmaker claimed that making such things public could prompt an
immediate ouster from the party.
"Since I am not loved at the party, I cannot go into the
public and start saying I am not loved, yet people are indeed seeing it.”
This is not the first time that the legislator has come out
to vent his frustrations about the party, in September 2022, Babu Owino decried
betrayal in the ODM Party.
The lawmaker claimed the party was ungrateful to its foot
soldiers, who were not only loyal but heavily invested in it.
