Uhuru should be worried now that NASA is going to take over from him," said Wetangula."I want Jubilee to stop playing with Raila. Let them address me because I am in the same class with them,” he added.Wetangula also hit out at Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju over a statement he had made earlier in the day."My brother don’t dance your self lame before the main dance comes," said Wetangula.In a press statement on Sunday, Tuju termed the NASA anti-IEBC demos as ‘Luo mass action’, arguing that the protests are only being staged in Kisumu, Homa Bay, Siaya and Kibera."This narrative that there is mass action or 'no Raila no reforms'... going out there...let us be honest...this is not mass action," said Tuju."Let us call it what it is...it is Luo mass action. At my age I don't need to pretend...it is Luo mass action," he added.
