Azimio leader Raila Odinga has disclosed that the race for the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson seat is not a matter of life and death for him.
Speaking during a burial ceremony in Bondo constituency, Siaya County on Saturday January 11, 2025, Raila expressed confidence in winning the AUC seat.
Additionally, Raila noted that he is ready to serve the African continent.
“This is Africa’s century. I am grateful for being part of this defining moment,” said Raila.
Raila explained that if he fails to clinch the AUC chairperson position, he is ready to return and proceed with activities back in Kenya.
At the same time, Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga lashed at the human rights activists and politicians who are currently very vocal about issues of abductions in the country.
The Siaya Senator accused the human rights activists and politicians of being selective in demanding justice, arguing that they were silent when Azimio supporters were being killed during the post-election demonstrations in 2022.
