YOU’LL NEVER BE PRESIDENT- THE DAY RAILA’S FATHER CURSED HIM.

Orange Democratic Movement party leader Raila Odinga has run for presidency five times now and he has been defeated in all of them.

This has left many people talking since that is very disturbing. The Odinga family is one of the founding families after Kenya attained Independence.

Raila’s Father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was the first opposition leader and according to reports he also failed in his quest for Presidency against Kenyatta and Moi.

Speculations have been made that before he died he cursed Raila and that is why the veteran politician never wins the presidential seat.

This happened many years ago when Jaramogi was chairing a Ford Kenya meeting in a room. Raila interrupted the meeting after he walked in with some young men he had hired and started heckling the members of the party which paralysed the activities of the meeting.

Jaramogi tried to cool him down and send away the young men but he did not listen to him. Raila believed that his father had become old and it was time to take the leadership of the party by force.

Destined to take over from his father, Raila and the young goons continued to cause trouble. This made Jaramogi very angry that he cursed his son. He told him that he had struggled with Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel Moi for the presidential seat but he had not defeated them.

The old man then told Raila that if he wanted to overthrow him to clinch power, he will also fail and never get to seat on the presidential seat until he dies.

“Amollo, it’s good that you have found it worth to disrupt this conference”….. Jaramogi continued, “My son Amollo, remember I started this struggle since independence, way before you were even born.

I have fought Kenyatta and Moi but never succeeded, am still struggling now to be the president of Kenya up to now. I want to tell you this, if your intention is to sink me down for a takeover you will also struggle until your sunset days trying to be the president, and you will never be!”

This were strong words that many believe are the cause of Raila’s failed attempts to win the presidential seat. Two years later, Raila’s Father died without removing the curse and blessing his son.
