Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga was on Wednesday, February 28 forced to address the issue of succession in the coalition as he eyes the African Union Commission (AUC) chairman position.
This is after former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu asked the opposition chief during the Homa Bay County International Investment Conference how he has planned for his succession.
Ngilu urged the former premier to organize the Azimio coalition before he exits the political scene.
“Baba, how have you arranged? How have you planned? I have been told to avoid politics here, but I don’t think I can avoid it, and I know many of you will not ask. I have been with Baba for all my years in politics, so I will ask him. He should explain to us,” said Ngilu.
She added, “When a child leaves their mother or when a father leaves a child, they must plan for them. So, I want to ask you, Baba, organize us well. You organized us in 2002; you must do it again so that we know how to take this country forward.”
