A section of Azimio leaders have come out to strongly defend Azimio leader Raila Odinga, saying that he should be respected.
Led by Siaya Governor James Orengo and National Assembly Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi, the leaders said that Raila is a respectful leader and therefore deserves to be respected.
"We want to assure you that if there is any rebellion, it is going to be crashed. If you feel you have the capacity to challenge ODM, go ahead and form your party," Wandayi said.
They spoke on Saturday at Pap Boro village in Usonga constituency during the funeral of the late Rosa Athieno Amoth, acting director general of Health Patrick Amoth's mother.
Orengo said that they respect the national government leadership and other national leaders and therefore they too should respect Raila.
"Even though we have moved out of politics season, I want to appeal to leaders to be respectful. Starting from Nyanza, Western and entire Kenya, our leader Raila Odinga is respectful and we shall not allow leaders to disrespect him," Orengo said.
Orengo said that all Kenyans should unite to develop the country.
He said that the national government and the county government should consult to ensure smooth developments.
