Wednesday, February 23, 2022 – Embattled ODM presidential hopeful Jimi Wanjigi is now on his own after former Prime Minister Raila Odinga disowned him in broad daylight.
Raila, through ODM Nairobi Chairman George Aladwa, warned Wanjigi against his nefarious plot to disrupt the party’s National Delegates Convention slated for the weekend.
The party disowned Wanjigi, saying he is not welcome to ODM meetings even though he is a life member of ODM.
According to Aladwa, Wanjigi is not among the list of delegates that was prepared in December 2021.
“The Nairobi ODM branch and sub-branches held its elections that closed on 8th December 2021 and we have checked the list of delegates and we haven’t found his name either at the ward, constituency, or county level,” Aladwa said.
Aladwa further cautioned the businessman cum politician to keep off the meeting nor demand to address the delegates since he was just an ordinary member.
“This is therefore to caution one Jimi Wanjigi to desist from claiming to be a legitimate delegate when he is just an ordinary member of the party,” Aladwa added.
This comes barely days after the presidential hopeful said he will attend the NDC as a delegate adding that he was a life member of the Orange party.
“I’m a life member of ODM and a delegate from Nairobi. I will attend the NDC and demand to speak,” he said.
This is even as Wanjigi is fighting a powerful state agency that had given him 72 hours to surrender guns and ammunition in his possession or face arrest, a demand the businessman has vowed never to honour.
