Uhuru wants to use Azimio to retain power – Wanjigi
By evans.maritim, May 2, 2022Safina Party presidential candidate Jimi Wanjigi has once again accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of using Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Alliance to return to power after his term expires on August 9, 2022.
Speaking after joining worshippers at a service at ACK Emmanuel Church Wahundura in Murang’a County on Sunday, Wanjigi challenged the President to follow the example set by his predecessor, the late President Mwai Kibaki, and hang his political boots.
“Azimio is a clear attempt by Uhuru Kenyatta to extend his rule and we will not allow it,” Wanjigi said when he addressed the media outside the church.
The Safina Party flag bearer said that the constitution clearly stipulates the Presidential term limits, however, it has become “undeniably clear” that the Head of State still desires to have a seat at the decision-making table after his term expires in August.
Wanjigi called on the Mount Kenya community to once again summon its strength to bring impactful change to the nation.
Reflecting on past instances such as with the Mau Mau resistance and the second liberation, Wanjigi stated that the community played a pivotal role in voting in the reigning regime and must heed the call to vote them out too in its “mutated” Azimio and Kenya Kwanza forms.
On the occasion of Labour Day, the businessman turned politician emphasized that the only numbers that matter were the 5.4 million educated who do not have jobs.
The presidential candidate also called on the youth to take a decisive political stand to avert social and economic disaster.
During the presser, Wanjigi hinted that his running mate will reflect the “true face” of the nation.
