Winnie Odinga told ODM loyalists that nobody's getting kicked out of the party despite drama over its direction after her dad, Raila Odinga, died. The East African Legislative Assembly MP fired off a forceful message at a packed rally at Kamukunji Grounds, referencing late rapper E-Sir's hit "Hamnitishi" to clap back at critics and lighten the vibe. She told supporters that threats won't shake her, quoting the song's opening line about two-cent intimidation tactics being worthless.
Winnie ripped into opportunistic members trying to grab control of ODM after Raila's passing. She said they were passengers with Baba driving, and one day they woke up shocked because the driver had died. Some people crept to the front, snatched the steering wheel, and yanked it in different directions while shoving passengers to the back. She asked why the rush when Baba only died yesterday, demanding they stop the bus and talk things through together before moving forward.
She called out fake supporters who just used Raila without truly believing in him. Winnie assured everyone the Odinga family isn't picking sides in factional fights, and they're Team Baba. She urged party members to show patience ahead of the National Delegates Congress, predicting it would get heated. She trashed claims from leaders saying they're following instructions Raila left behind, calling that bad manners and rejecting any attempts to chase out members with different opinions.
Winnie said as the lastborn, she has to speak up when things go sideways, telling supporters she came to "choma" and drawing massive cheers. She kicked off the day with an emotional address at ACK Holy Trinity Parish in Makina, Kibra, apologizing for taking forever to return to the community after her father's death. She admitted feeling troubled about coming back to Kibra without Baba and not knowing how to talk to people without crying.
Her brother, Raila Odinga Junior, and Kilimani MCA Moses Ogeto joined her at the service.
