Ida Odinga Endorses John Mbadi as Raila’s Successor

Speculation is rife about who is to take over from Raila Odinga in Luo land after the Azimio leader announced his desire to ascend to designated for the African Union Commission chairmanship.

Ida Odinga has opened Pandora’s box with her revelation that Azimio party leader Raila Odinga prefers nominated MP John Mbadi as his successor, if his bid for the African Union Commission chairperson post sails through. 

Speaking over the weekend, Ida said that Raila has trained a lot of lieutenants in local politics who could take over from him if he gets the AU job

“Baba as he goes to AU has mentored many to take care of what he’s left behind. Mbadi after all these years of mentorship do you still need more training? Should I continue?

“That’s Baba’s heartbeat,” Ida added amidst hearty cheers from the crowd.

Ida, however, added that more leaders who were tutored by Raila were ready to step up whenever but Mbadi topped the list.
