Political commentator Nuru Okanga has weighed in on internal dynamics within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), suggesting that party leader Oburu Odinga does not trust President William Ruto.
Speaking recently, Okanga said:
“Oburu Odinga hatrust Ruto ndio maana hakukula hiyo keki. Winnie Odinga, you did a good job in Mombasa for warning Oburu Odinga not to eat that cake.”
Okanga’s remarks refer to a widely discussed incident in Mombasa, where Oburu reportedly refrained from participating in a symbolic gesture involving President Ruto. According to the commentator, the move reflects underlying caution and skepticism toward the President, while Winnie Odinga is credited with offering timely advice that guided her brother’s actions.
The statement has sparked reactions online, with supporters praising Winnie’s prudence and critics questioning the implications for ODM’s unity and its relationship with the Kenya Kwanza coalition. Analysts say the episode highlights the intricate trust and alliance issues that continue to shape Kenyan political interactions.
