Cotu boss Francis Atwoli has hit back at the ANC party labelling it as 'a political commercial Kiosk'.

He was responding to ANC's statement in which he was accused of "incessant insults".

The Musalia Mudavadi party in a statement on Tuesday said Atwoli and his 'cheerleaders' are trying to push Western Kenya into Azimio la Umoja which it said will never happen.

"The inconsequential Atwoli and a bevvy of his inane cheerleaders must wake up to the reality of our times that the Luhya nation will never be hoodwinked again to “steal political beeps” at the lake! Never!," the party said.

In response, Atwoli said, "If ANC was a political party, I would have advised its leadership/staff to seek therapy because they are in the "bargaining" stage of grief after ANC's burial on 23/1/2022. But because ANC is a political commercial Kiosk, I will sleep peacefully knowing Western is in Azimio."

Last week Atwoli met with Mudavadi allies who have now decamped to Raila Odinga's Azimio la Umoja.

The Unionist hosted Kakamega woman Rep Elsie Muhanda, Butere Mp Tindi Mwale, Lurambi Mp Bishop Titus Khamala Kwisero Mp Christopher Aseka and former Shinyalu MP Anami at his Ildamat home in Kajiado.

According to Atwoli, the MPs came for a political consultative meeting.

In its statement, the ANC party said Mudavadi will continue in his mission to liberate the Mulembe nation despite Atwoli's insults.

"No amount of incessant insults and pedestrianly-sycophantic public display by the Atwoli and ilk mercenaries for hire will deter Musalia Mudavadi’s resolve to liberate the Mulembe nation from the political entanglement of a state project," the party said.
