Amani National Congress deputy leader Ayub Savula has faulted his boss Musalia Mudavadi following his criticism targeting Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Last week, Mudavadi accused the two leaders of giving into the pressure from the West before agreeing to have a handshake which he termed as selfish.
But in what will now lead to division within ANC, the Lugari MP says Mudavadi's outbursts were unwanted, adding that they will not bring any value to him.
The ANC deputy party leader Ayub Savula accused Mudavadi’s advisors of misleading his boss by setting the former Vice President and Raila.
"I was shocked by Mudavadi’s claims that Handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila came about as a result of blackmail, I don't agree with him on this one," Savula told his constituents at Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Lugari campus yesterday.
“Mudavadi needs Raila and the ODM supporters to achieve his ambition of ascending to presidency, it is wrong for ANC and ODM to engage in unwarranted wars that could scuttle his (Mudavadi’s) prospects," argued Savula.
While on his tour of the United States, Mudavadi told a gathering of Kenyans in diaspora that a threat by some Western countries to cancel visas for opposition leaders and their associates necessitated the political deal reached between President Uhuru and Raila.
"We don't want Kenya to go where it was sometimes back, Mudavadi ought to reach out to Raila and President Uhuru and convince them to back his presidential bid, the sideshows we are seeing will not help matters," said the MP.
Mudavadi has projected himself as an opposition leader, often criticism the government on matters economy. He has recently been at loggerheads with Raila.
