Although Raila Odinga is still the opposition leader and one of the most influential leaders in the country, there are some people especially from his Luo Nyanza that feel like age is catching up with Baba and thus, they should start thinking about his successor with names such as Babu Owino, Opiyo Wandayi, Winnie Odinga, John Mbadi and others proposed.
Those succession discussions have been dominating in the country for days now but as we are currently speaking, there may be jitters in ODM and Nyanza after Raila Odinga’s sister Ruth Odinga dropping her latest remarks which will sound like a blow to Babu Owino and other proposed leaders to succeed Raila Odinga.
As reported by the Nation Africa through their official Telegram page, Ruth Odinga made it clear that she doesn’t think if there is currently any leader from Luo Nyanza who is fit enough to succeed her brother.
That means that to Ruth Odinga, the likes of Otiende Amollo, Opiyo Wandayi, Babu Owino, Winnie Odinga and others are good but they are not yet there.
