Amani House, the official Home of ANC Party is under storm following a widening rift between the party boss Musalia Mudavadi and ODM leader Raila Odinga that has been caused by halfbaked misleading advice he has been following blindly.
The ANC deputy party leader Ayub Savula has accused Barrack Muluka and other Mudavadi’s advisors of misleading his boss by setting the former Vice President against Raila.
“I was shocked by Mudavadi’s claims that Handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila came about as a result of blackmail, I don’t agree with him on this one,” Savula told his constituents at Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Lugari campus yesterday.
“Mudavadi needs Raila and the ODM supporters to achieve his ambition of ascending to presidency, it is wrong for ANC and ODM to engage in unwarranted wars that could scuttle his (Mudavadi’s) prospects,” Savula said
For those who follow Musalia Mudavadi closely, Savula’s sentiments target ANC Secretary-General Barrack Muluka, whose appointment remains a court battle with Nominated MP GodfreyOsotsi and a section of other politically nonviable individuals surrounding Mudavadi.
While on his tour of the United States, Mudavadi told a gathering of Kenyans in the diaspora that a threat by some Western countries to cancel visas for opposition leaders and their associates necessitated the political deal reached between President Uhuru and Raila.
“We don’t want Kenya to go where it was sometimes back, Mudavadi ought to reach out to Raila and President Uhuru and convince them to back his presidential bid, the sideshows we are seeing will not help matters,” said the MP.
According to Savula, the decision by ANC to field Eliud Owalo in the Kibra by-election should not be misconstrued to mean enmity between the political outfit and ODM.
“What is happening in Kibra is just friendly fire between the sibling rivals, supporters of Amani and ODM ought not to fight or hold grudges against each other .”
On Kibra, Savula told Sifuna to refrain from the habit of cussing Mudavadi because he does not understand the political landscape in Kenya.
“Sifuna is a perennial election loser having unsuccessfully vied for MCA, MP and Senate seats in the past “
Savula wondered whether Mr Sifuna consults his party leader before making embarrassing utterances in public.
“We have no issues with Raila, and I will talk to my Boss about this because the former Prime Minister has not issued statements that demean Mudavadi or ANC.”
Personally, I think Savula is very right on Musalia. MaDvD has enclosed himself in a room full of ex-KANU beggars and their sons, they say and think on his behalf.
He declares himself the official opposition Chief then he goes underground to sip fine whiskey and act like a class prefect who’s writting Kenyan political Noisemakers.
