ODM chairman John Mbadi has accused Rarieda MP Nicholas Gumbo of insulting him.

During Friday morning Radio talk show on Nam Lolwe FM, Mbadi declared that Gumbo has created a personal difference with him.

“Gumbo abused me for having attended Rasanga’s state of the County address in Rarieda. He insulted my family. He abused my wife who hails from his Constituency that she is not blessed with children, he is lucky his wife has got children. That’s alright,” said Mbadi.

The Suba MP added; “Even if my wife has no children, she is my wife and I love her.”

Mbadi told Gumbo to tread carefully on his statements noting that there are utterances leaders should make and others they should desist from.

Gumbo asked for forgiveness to all leaders he may have offended in any way.

Gumbo said; “Let us forget all the past in 2015 and focus ahead as a united people. I do apologize for any leader whom I may have wronged in one way or another.”

Mbadi said Gumbo’s apology does not wipe away whatever he said against him.

“He made personal statements against me. I don’t like them and that has created a personal difference between me and him. He must know that Siaya is not his garden where I have to consult him before I visit,” said Mbadi.
