"Raila Told Me To Support Ruto In 2027!" – Philip Etale On Baba's Last Wish (Part 2) | Iko Nini 796

"Bill is also a human being. We can support him." That's what Raila Odinga told Philip Etale at his birthday lunch, when Etale asked where ODM goes in 2027 if Baba isn't on the ballot. In Part 2, ODM's Director of Communications tells Mwaf about Raila's last year: why he stood with Ruto, what scared him during the Gen Z protests, and the day he died. "You have to lead people, not graves." Etale says Raila feared that if protesters reached State House the military would take over, so he chose stability over power.
