?????? Raila Odinga Chased from Gusii Stadium, ‘Baba Must Go’ Explodes!
KISII, KENYA: On March 09, 2025, Raila Odinga, 80, faced a furious crowd at Gusii Stadium in Kisii County. Kenyans once saw “Baba” as their champion, but now they feel he’s all about himself. Today, he arrived to launch Shabana FC’s new kits, but fans drowned him out with “Raila must go!” chants and stormed out. It’s a huge fall for the ODM leader after his March 07 deal with President William Ruto, 58, signing an MoU at KICC for "unity and jobs". Kisii, his old stronghold, turned on him as the cost of living soars—taxes won’t drop, food and rent are crushing most Kenyans, yet Ruto hands out millions every week to churches; is what critics argue.
Anger is boiling over. Ruto’s recent 20-million-shilling donation to Jesus Winner Ministry has Kenyans raging, with 38 youths arrested today for occupying the church in protest. Police trucks, plainclothes sleuths, and DCI swarmed the scene, guarding it with Ruto’s blessing. Critics slam Ruto for kicking off his 2027 campaign by bribing churches, who are desperate—congregants can’t tithe with no money left. Preachers, now seen as running businesses not faiths, ditch their broke flocks for government cash to keep up fake flashy lives. At least 60 died in 2024 tax protests, and 80% of Kenyans—mostly under 35—feel Raila’s Ruto pact betrays them.
Raila’s new role as "de facto deputy president" stings. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, 52, Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi, 64, and Speaker Moses Wetangula, 68, left with an egg on the face, while MP Kimani Ichung’wah’s embarrassment is beyond words...like honesty...I don't even know what to say. Kenyans trusted Raila, but after his handshake with Ruto, the political grounds shifted. Today’s chaos saw chairs thrown, Governor Simba Arati, 43, and Nairobi’s Johnson Sakaja, 40, helpless. The political heat is just starting as Kenyans demand change.
Question:
Do you support the Gusii youth’s “Baba must go” chants?
