Baba’s Birthday Party at the Bomas of Kenya
In Nairobi, Baba was overjoyed with him being fed a piece of his birthday cake and gave an energetic and passionate speech concerning his dream or ‘Azimio’ for the country.
Baba’s Birthday Speech
Raila said that the general election this year will be Kenya’s moment to step up and become a nation of prosperity and justice. His supporters, on the other hand, led by Kieni MP Kanini Kega vowed that the next birthday party will be held in the State House with Raila as the new president come 2023. Critics, however, say that Raila Odinga is too old to be contesting for the presidential seat. There are also fears that even when elected, he may not make it to a second term.
Happy Birthday Raila Odinga
Happy birthday, Baba. All the best in the 2022 general elections. Win or lose you will remain a great statesman but we hope this time you will concede a fair loss and not inaugurate yourself if you are not the winner. Overall, we pray for peace and a smooth and fair election come August 9th, 2022.
