Having announced the exit of FORD-Kenya from the National Super Alliance (NASA) on Monday, Wetang’ula blasted leaders propagating successional leadership. “Those perpetuating dynastic leadership think everybody owes them. Bindu bichenjanga! Nothing lasts forever. God is watching over all of us,” posted Wetang’ula.
He goes on to slam ODM for not responding to issues of appointments. “Instead of responding to issues of appointments from his tribe ODM leader using upstart surrogates to hurl abuses at Weta. Very unhelpful!” he added.
Wetang’ula cited ‘betrayal’ as one of the reasons why his party was exiting NASA. He also explained that the party saw it fit to leave the coalition after the handshake between Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“In my view, NASA is history. We were in NASA as FORD-Kenya in a coalition of the willing, we suffered a massive betrayal by our presidential candidate and as a party we are now focused on how to strengthen our grassroots support and to strengthen our national appeal,” Wetang’ula stated as seen on a local news site.
