Wednesday, October 8, 2025 - Mama Ida Odinga has firmly refuted rumors surrounding her husband, Raila Odinga’s health.
Speaking on Tuesday, October 7th, Ida assured
Kenyans that the ODM leader is in good condition and simply taking a short
break.
“Some people claimed that Baba is sick.”
“If he were as bad as they claimed, I would have just
brought him to this hospital in Migori.”
“Baba has sent his greetings; he is well and has just taken
a short break,” she said.
“How would someone who doesn’t live with him know, yet I,
who live with him, don’t know?”
“The truth is, Baba is okay,” she affirmed.
Her remarks came shortly after ODM Communications Director,
Philip Etale, confirmed Raila’s wellbeing, stating he had spoken to him
directly.
“He is jovial and happy. He has sent me to convey his
greetings to all of you and says he will be back in a few days,” Etale said.
The reassurances follow a weekend of intense speculation on
social media regarding Raila’s whereabouts and health.
On Sunday, October 5th, Raila’s spokesperson,
Dennis Onyango, accused opposition figures, led by former Deputy President
Rigathi Gachagua, of orchestrating the rumors in an attempt to pressure Raila
into joining their political campaign against President William Ruto.
