ODM deputy leader and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya may have recognized President Uhuru Kenyatta's leadership at least based on his small speech in Nyeri.For many months now, the opposition team has despised President Uhuru Kenyatta's leadership following the outcome of controversial presidential elections."Your Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, I am happy to join your team here. We both share grief at this time," he said on Saturday during the burial of Nyeri Governor Wahome Gakuru.Understandably, Kakamega County is one of the regions that has passed the People's Assembly Bill whose sole purpose is to disown Uhuru's leadership.But political analyst Gideon Mamboleo, despite a section of NASA supporters trolling Oparanya, has defended his short speech saying that it was 'perfect'."Legally, Uhuru is still president and more so, that was a funeral where maturity should prevail. He was perfectly in order," he says.
