ODM leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday said that Kikuyus and Luo’s have nothing against each other.
Speaking during Mashujaa day at Wangu’uru stadium in Kirinyaga, Raila said the Luo’s have supported the Kikuyus in the past by voting for a Kikuyu to be president.
He said his father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga supported Kibaki by taking him as his own son by sponsoring him at Makerere University and thereafter helping him get a government job.
“In 2002, Kibaki got an accident, and I took over his campaigns. When we came to Central Kenya, I was referred to us Mutongoria Njamba. 98 percent of Luo’s voted for Kibaki despite what had happened in the past. The killing of Tom Mboya and the fall out between Jaramogi and Jomo Kenyatta,” he said.
Raila added that he is a friend of “Mt Kenya” and has been able to climb the Mountain.
He asked Mt Kenya region to support him.
