GOOD Morning. I don't intend to start your day with irritation so let me stick to nothing but the truth.
I have seen many comments many times on this timeline asking me, "are you the only one who meets Azimio supporters?" That is when I post of my encounter with Baba supporters.
The short stories are always true but I like it when I see doubts cast. The answer is No Iam not the only one. Azimions are in their millions, whether I meet them or not.
But the question arises in regard to (1) Azimio supporters in Mt Kenya region and (2) Azimio supporters among Kikuyus whether in Mt Kenya or outside. Those who ask that question are often in denial that a Mugikuyu can actually be supporting Raila Odinga.
But without underestimating Ruto's support in Mt Kenya and among the Agikuyu, let me state the reality as happens to me (and here I mean only to me)
In church I meet two or three people or even 5 who will tell me, Wahome mini ni Azimio. They are all Kikiyus (yes our church is 95% Kikuyu)
In Kitengela streets I come across another 20. I enter a hotel and 2 customers greet me and tell me Wahome tuko hapo. They are Kiuks.
In my inbox I have dozens and dozens and dozens of messages from my fellow Kikuyus telling me, tuko Azimio. Others will not say it directly, they start by telling me how Raila is the 5th.
When I go to Kirinyaga..I must meet over 10 people, all Azimio. I sit in court and someone says hey, then tells me Wahome tuko pamoja kwa baba. He is kiuk.
At a fuel station or even on the highway jam, a stranger waves at me and shouts tûrî Azimio...and so on and so on.
All my Kiuk friends in Kite and Nyeri are Azimio except three. In fact their debate is always on who baba will pick as running mate.
All these are not people out to impress me, they are professionals or just strangers or just people carrying on with their businesses. I remember a guy who found me in a hardware and when the owner told him Iam Baba supporter he responded, "is hapo ndio tuko".
I know you would like to argue that they are out to impress me. No. They don't even say anything more. You are only in denial. When a Kiuk matatu tout tells me in a jam that he is azimio and drives away what interest was he looking for? I know it's painful. We thought doyen would take 90%, wapi.
Let's accept that slowly the Baba gospel are into Mt Kenya communities like Cancer. And you know Raila can only gain in Mt Kenya, he can't lose.. The people who will vote for Raila Odinga and are not shouting about it are way above 40%. You never expected this.
Kateni miti.
