This came amid a fallout between the two United Democratic
Alliance (UDA) chiefs.
Speaking at Akorino Church Service at Nakuru Boys' High
School, Nakuru County, Ruto urged leaders to embrace every Kenyan in their
calls for unity and stop retreating to their tribal cocoons like what Gachagua
is doing with his one-man, one-shilling campaign.
"Vile naibu wa rais amesema, tuungane, tushirikiane,
tuweke amani hili sisi wote tuchangie katika kuhakikisha Kenya yetu ni Kenya
moja.”
"Kenya ambaye Wakenya wote wanajivunia kama wananchi wa
taifa letu la Kenya. Na tusikubali wale walikuwa wanajaribu kutugawanya hapa
Nakuru juzi nikiwa na huyu Riggy G," Ruto told the congregants.
The president recalled how disunity calls were spread during
the 2022 election period and how they overcame what had been predicted to occur
in Nakuru had he and his deputy gotten elected.
"Kuna watu walikuwa wanatugawanya hapa wanatuambia kwamba mkichagua huyu Ruto na Riggy G, kutakuwa na matatizo.
"Si Nakuru, iko na
amani jameni? Si saa hii tunaongea kujenga barabara, kuunganisha stima, kuweka
maji, ndio ile Economic Special Zone inakuwa pale, nafasi ya kazi inapatikana
na mimi nitarudi hapa hivi karibuni.”
"Hapa Lanet tunajenga nyumba elfu tano na mimi
ninahitaji vijana karibu elfu kumi ya kufanya hio kazi," Ruto continued.
Nakuru County is one of the regions that historically has
been the centre of politically-instigated chaos, and Ruto recalled how he and former President Uhuru Kenyatta worked to end such turmoil.
"Tulikuwa hapa na Uhuru Kenyatta na
tukakubaliana ya kwamba tunataka kumaliza siasa ya ukabila. Nyinyi watu wa
Nakuru mlikuwa mstari ya mbele na mimi nawaenzi na ninawaombea Mungu awatendee
mema.”
"Kwa sababu Nakuru ilisimama imara, Kenya ikasimama
Imara. Nyinyi watu wa Nakuru mko special.”
"My fellow leaders, let us work for unity for this great nation called Kenya.
"Nyinyi watu wa Akorino mtatuombe Kenya iungane? Ndio
twende mbele pamoja?" Ruto continued.
