Former Orange Democratic Movement Secretary General Ababu Namwamba should avoid verbal exchanges with former Premier Raila Odinga to save his political future, observes Kisii ODM Youth Wing Chairman Erick Janganya.
Mr Namwamba has come out guns blazing accusing his former boss of betrayal even as Raila’s tour to his Budlangi home turf kicks off on Wednesday.
Janganya on Wednesday termed Namwamba a ‘lost’ son who needed intervention to remain in the right track by avoiding competing with his master.
“I have respect for Ababu and I would wish him to prosper politically. However, I am shocked that the same General I respected so much could turn against someone who uplifted him for a Newspaper columnist to MP,” he said.
“He should desist from engaging Raila in verbal war because he will lose at the end of it all. Raila has made and destroyed politicians and if Ababu wants to be exceptional, he must be careful at this time. He should not dream of accusing Odinga,” he said.
Janganya also challenged Namwamba to remain in the Orange party to avoid embarrassment in 2017 polls.
“I do not want him to lose because he was such a good person. However, time has come for him to remain silent and intact in the party to avoid being voted out. I have been watching Odinga’s tour in Western and I think things may be good for him,” he said.
