Dida is well remembered for his hilarious statements during the electioneering periods, a thing that saw him labelled 'a political joker'. 

Among the notable statements is when he told Kenyans that President Kenyatta and Raila Odinga would take the country nowhere since they were in the same game for decades.

“If Raila will be elected or President Kenyatta given another term, Kenya will go nowhere. They are the same players and they will not solve your problems. I am the solution,” Dida said was quoted by Nation.
