Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has pleaded with NASA supporters not to give up on Raila Odinga.Ngilu wants supporters to remain loyal to Raila despite the disappointment they have after the former Prime Minister (PM) cancelled his swearing-in to a later date.Addressing locals during a tour of Kitui Town on Tuesday, Ngilu said that Raila remains the 'savior' who will liberate the country from Jubilee's poor rule.She said that the former Prime Minister is committed to liberate the country, adding that the postponement of his swearing-in should not be seen or interpreted as a sign of cowardice."I know Raila Odinga very well, he has not given up on his mission and I urge his supporters not to give up on him because he means well," she said on Tuesday.The former Lands Cabinet Secretary (CS) observed that if Raila had given up, Kenya will not have been where it is today.She said that Raila has fought hard for the democracy and the constitutional rights Kenyans are enjoying today.Ngilu said that they will stand with Raila come rain or sunshine, adding that NASA's quest for reforms will not stop.The NARC party leader said that the country will head to the 'dogs' if Raila gives up on quest for reforms.She pleaded with Kenyans to remain firm and reject Jubilee's alleged dictatorship and oppression rule.Raila's planned swearing-in that had been planned for Tuesday (yesterday) was cancelled to a later date.The postponement of the much publicised event left Raila's supporters and politicians allied to NASA disappointed.NASA has since clarified that the swearing-in has not been abandoned as it has been reported assuring its supporters that a new date for the coronation will be announced soon.Raila has maintained that he does not recognize Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency and that he will be sworn-in as president by the people's assembly since he allegedly won the August 8 presidential election.
