Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga is today Tuesday, January, 7, 2020, celebrating his 75th birthday.
Family members, fellow leaders and his supporters have sent heart warming messages to the political bigwig who many proudly refer to as 'Baba'.
"We wish you plenty of joy today and every day of the coming year! You are a fantastic example of wisdom, leadership, and foresight. On your birthday, we wish you peace, good health, and happiness. You are the best mentor anyone could have asked for," ODM tweeted.
Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi and ODM Director of communications Philip Etale were also not left behind in wishing the former Prime Minister a happy birthday.
"Wishing Baba Raila Odinga a happy birthday. May your dreams for a united and a prosperous Kenya be realised in your lifestyle," Atandi tweeted.
"Your Excellency Hon. Dr. Raila Amolo Odinga, you have been a role model and an example of selfless giving to this generation, and we are proud to hold you as someone worthy of emulation. On this day, I just want to say Thank You and Happy Birthday," Etale posted.
Odinga's son, Raila Odinga Junior said: "Happy birthday Raila Odinga. Wishing you more returns!"
King Fred Asira, a supporter, described the ODM boss as the father of democracy and a true statesman.
"Today marks the birthday of one of Africa's greatest living leaders, the father of democracy and a liberator. Much can be said about you by both friend and foe but the truth is, engineer Raila Odinga is a true statesman and a gift to Kenya's political sphere," Asira tweeted.
