Presidential aspirant Jimmy concluded his four-day tour of the Nyanza region by declaring that a third liberation was imminent.
Wanjigi, who is vying for the ODM presidential ticket in what he sees as a worthy battle against party leader Raila Odinga, told a crowd gathered outside St. Teresa’s Catholic Church in Kibuye, where he attended mass, that he is part of a new crop of leaders who will bring Kenyans together by freeing them from the shackles of negative ethnicity, bad governance, and a runaway economy.
“I am calling on Kenyans to reject them come 2022 general election,” he said.
“We want the government to urgently review the cost of energy which has a great knock-on effect on the food basket and household income,” he said.
“I was highly welcomed in all places I visited,” he said.
“I am here in Nyanza not as an enemy of the people by virtue of running for president, but as a life member of the Orange party founded on strong democratic tenets and values,” he said.
“Our party believes in internal democracy and so there is no need to be jittery.
“We will run the race and ultimately, it is the close to 3,000 ODM delegates who will decide who is their best bet for the ticket. At the moment we have to campaign,” he said.
“I am presenting myself to you…I know the sovereign power rests in your hands, and you will give us a fair judgment,” he said after meeting delegates from Siaya county.
