Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has criticised former Prime Minister Raila Odinga over claims of endorsing Johnson Sakaja for the Nairobi Gubernatorial seat in 2027.

Addressing the press on Thursday, January 16, Babu Owino lamented, claiming that his efforts were not appreciated despite his loyalty to the former opposition leader.

While questioning Odinga's decision, the vocal lawmaker revealed that Governor Sakaja had never supported Raila's political career since 2007 when Odinga vied for the presidency up to 2022.

According to him, Sakaja's current support for Odinga's ambition for the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson seat was just a political gimmick.
