ATWOLI REVEALS WHY RUTO WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT

Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) secretary-general Francis Atwoli has insisted Deputy President William Ruto would not be president in the 2022.

Speaking to Citizen TV on Wednesday, February 24, the long-serving trade unionist advised the second in command not be deceived by the crowds he is attracting in his nationwide tours across the country.

“If crowds were to make one a leader, Kenneth Matiba would have been a president before he died. Even Jaramogi Oginga pulled such…Don’t be deceived by the crowds…At the end people listen to their leaders,” Atwoli said.

The COTU leader who is a vocal handshake supporter said Ruto erred when he started early campaigns, to the chagrin of his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“I do not know who will be the president in 2022 but I know who will not be…I have said it several times that the DP William Ruto can’t be president absolutely. I wish the DP had good advisors and would still be supporting all of President Uhuru’s projects,” the Khwisero man stated.

Atwoli opined former prime minister Raila Odinga still commands a huge following across the country and would upset Ruto in the presidential race if they were to run against each other.

“Do not dismiss Raila Odinga because of his age. If he decides to run for president, it will be something else as he has many supporters. He will turn the tables,” he added.
