Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai has said that National Super Alliance (NASA) Presidential candidate, Raila Amolo Odinga cannot ascend to power.
Speaking during a meeting in which Ukambani leaders endorsed businessman Peter Muthoka to spearhead Jubilee campaigns in the region, Mbai said that he is sure President Uhuru Kenyatta will beat Raila, a former prime minister, hands down when that time comes. He noted that Wiper Party Leader Stephen Kalonzo has been toiling to see Raila ascend to power but it seems to be a far-fetched dream.
“We are seeing the efforts Kalonzo is making to ensure Raila becomes President. But [I think], even God has refused. The NASA presidential candidate cannot be President,” Mbai said.
He also said that Raila was born in the opposition and it is clear he will die in the opposition despite having made an effort to become the head of this nation in the coming years.
“Raila started being in opposition in his mother’s womb, he joined his late father in opposing Mzee Kenyatta’s leadership, opposed Moi, Kibaki and now Uhuru. He cannot be President, will continue being in opposition,” he added.
The remarks of the lawmaker come at a time when both Raila and Uhuru have hit campaign trails.
