This was Baba's very LAST public speech ANYWHERE. He didn't make any speech after this. However much you try, can you really misinterprete this? If we are to truly be his jeshi, what were the last instructions he left us here? Let's just be honest with ourselves.

ODM supporters haven't enjoyed siasa like this since Baba died. Amolo is happy.

In all the 75 years that Jaramogi Oginga Odinga (1950 to 1994), James Orengo (1994 to 1997) and Raila Odinga (1997 to 2025) were recognised as the undisputed leaders of the Luo community, and regardless of the age-old differences between the Luo and the Kikuyu, none of them ever stood on a public podium and said anything this shocking. Oburu says in this clip that "Kalenjins are our types and our relatives, but we will never have anything with Kikuyus because they will never change and we have tried many times, but those ones are not ours". Oburu also says that Luo elders totally opposed "Kibaki Tosha" in 2002, without explaining how then Raila successfully ran it into a winning machine. Of course he won't mention that meeting at Ofafa Memorial Hall, when Raila met and explained to Luo elders, as their SG, Prof Gilbert Ogutu, took notes, that removing the destructive Kanu regime was a bigger national responsibility than Luo-Kikuyu rivalry. The last real Luo-Kikuyu act was that of Jomo Kenyatta's own son trying to make Jaramogi's son president in 2022. No matter how much peddlers of tribal hate seek to twist this event, history will always record that Uhuru Kenyatta, against every prevailing philosophy, backed Raila Odinga for President in 2022. FACT. Just like Raila believed in 2002 that the perennial divide between the Luo and the Kikuyu was hurting the country's social fabric and its wider inter-ethnic relations, Uhuru acknowledged in 2022 that giving power to the Jaramogi household would probably be the most revolutionary action in the country's independent history. On that score, both Raila and Uhuru should have promptly qualified for the Nobel Peace Prize, because their acts of courage, against the wishes of their own ethnic bases, gave us a glimpse of leadership that seeks truth and justice away from the comfort of tribal warmth. Dr Oburu Oginga is a leader unto doom, destruction and stagnation. After the 75 years of his father and brother working to heal a divided nation, the fact that he can don the colours of Raila's party, mount a podium and resurrect tribal divisions to push his agenda means he is the biggest mistake the party has ever made. Dr Oburu obviously hasn't looked closed at the crowds he addresses. His age mates are not there! These are kids born after that Kibaki Tosha moment. Many don't even speak vernacular. Many are born or dwell in mixed-tribe households or neighbourhoods where tribe is becoming a non-issue. To preach to them medieval philosophies of tribal hate is to take a retirement joke way too far. In private, we probably say nasty things about other communities. People of my generation even write them on our pages. What we don't expect is that our leaders will go to the podium and preach these things openly. I have a theory... The Luo and the Kikuyu are not neighbours, and have never fought, either over politics or land, as compared to "others". My feeling is that this rising anti-Kikuyu sentiment being peddled by broad-based ODM is being done on behalf of "others" ahead of 2027. And this is where Oburu and intellectual saucepans like Atandi will find themselves in trouble if the hatred they now peddle turns into an ICC-level conflict in 2027, a conflict not involving Luos but started with loose talk cleverly egged on by non-Luo government networks. Raila's death has exposed the worst things he used to conceal.

In case brodbes bloggers missed it, share it with them, because Caleb Amisi said just moments ago that it is time for a Sifuna presidency. They have been misquoting Amisi in a manner to suggest that he is not aligned with the powerful movement that is winning every heart in the country. Sisi Ndio State House.

You can perform a small exercise for ODM leaders. Oburu Arati Osotsi Abdulswamad Wanga Sifuna Junet Find their videos from just three years ago. Listen to them three times each. Then find their current ones. Find out who has been consistent all along. People don't change. Only the level of greed and shamelessness changes. Some leaders remain true to their ideals and beliefs. Others choose greed.

It's chaos. Fatuma Full Network nearly climbing on Oburu's shoulders to help him speak! On either side of Oburu, Abdulswamad, Wanga and at least three other people, are all shouting instructions at the Party Leader. One of them can be heard on the mic shouting "Wach awacha!" Meaning "Just speak!" Oburu himself appears dazed by all the instructions from everywhere around him, including from the crowd. All this at a function where the theme, quite ironically, was "Oburu must be respected". Why are they doing that? Why are they treating Oburu like a toddler just learning to speak? Why aren't they sure he can address a rally on his own, in Kibra of all places? I won't even ask if they would ever do that to Raila, because broad-based crackheads will say "there will always be only one Raila Odinga and his shoes are too big to be filled". Fair enough. Would they do this to Anyang' Nyong'o? Heck, would they do this to Otis Jakanjira Chumbi Nyiri, if he was Party Leader? What does this say about how this transactional faction of ODM views Oburu? Sad.

Raila's VERY LAST public words on 22nd September 2025. Nothing more to add.

So that we are clear... Geoffrey Rigathi Gachagua is the worst thing that ever happened to Kenyan politics. I have actually done a mental calculation of all top politicians since independence, but can't find one who is as vile, petty, vindictive, and plain ignorant, as that Mathira monster. Gachagua is a tribal lord who sees everything from one tiny window. So that I am not beating around any bush, between Gachagua and Ruto, Gachagua is so much worse that it is impossible to use the same parameters to compare. People don't notice that of all top politicians past and present, only Gachagua consistently talks about his community or tribes. He can't help it. He is as divisive as he is foolish. And the more he goes near a microphone, the more you realise that Ruto is still better. In fact, for many parts of Kenya where Kikuyu entitlement has been the vessel of entitlement, every Gachagua appearance on TV is a pro-Ruto campaign rally. We can resurrect Kihika Kimani and Paul Chepkok, place them next to Gachagua and the latter will still be worse. There is nothing that Mathira clown can say or do to make him a panacea to any perceived Ruto ills. In fact, to have a serious national conversation about change, we must first remove Rigathi from it!

Prof Gov. Anyang' Nyong'o is the Acting Party Leader of ODM, and the most consequential ideologue in the entire lifetime of the party. Today in Kakamega, he categorically addressed the matter of attacks by some party elements, directed at Secretary General Sifuna. Nyong'o (someone should teach Osotsi how to say Nyong'o instead of Nyong') stated as follows; 1. Sifuna has never contradicted the party and/or the party leader's position. His words reflect the thinking of the party leadership. 2. Since being appointed SG, Sifuna has done an excellent job positioning the party as a powerful player in Kenya's politics and democracy. Nyong'o would know, because as the founding SG of ODM, he is the one who laid the ideological and operational position of the party, and perhaps the one who understands the most, what existential threat is represented by the Ruto praise choirs within the party. But the Professor said something else quite telling; "Sifuna is built for the future. Whenever I look into the future, I see Sifuna there in a very good position. I see Sifuna way ahead. Anyone who doesn't understand this riddle should go home and clear up their brain then try to understand it". The riddle is not difficult to understand. Nyong'o is simply asking the few ODM members at loggerheads with Sifuna why they are fighting their best chance at a future presidency. A time is coming when politics will move from tribe and we will have to resort to the best tools in our yards, the best talents in our party. There is no future face of that than Sifuna. I need to add here that among the Luo, Nyong'o is not only the Acting Party Leader, but is the second most respected political leader after Raila and, in a community that adores academia, the iconic face of academic elitism. His words ring heavier than those oblong-headed noise machines you see around. For good measure, all three Deputy Party Leaders have come out in support of the Sifuna. Nyong'o may have gone one better and endorsed Sifuna for a future role, but the fact that the PL, the acting PL and the DPLs have all confirmed that the SG speaks for the party, should put this matter to rest. But we know it won't, because that thing Nyong'o sees in the future is what scares the Transaction Wing of ODM; the mere thought of a time when the party leadership and a shot at the presidency will move to a youthful, credible and refreshing new order. But that time is fast approaching, starting later this week when Raila will move to Addis! Dynamite.
