They said the divisions in the family have portrayed the once respected house negatively.
"We will now live together and sort out our issues peacefully. The wrangles within us would even
portray the president badly after he appointed our daughter Susan Kihika in the jubilee campaign team," they said.
While apologizing to Susan Kihika, the wives who have 48 children in total said they will instead bless their daughter as per the Kikuyu
traditions.
"Further
we do apologise to Kenyans for casting the Kihika family in a negative
light as far as succession is concerned," the wives said.
They called on the people of Nakuru to support Susan as she leads the county team to deliver votes for the jubilee party.
The county speaker is eyeing the Nakuru senate seat in 2017.
