Jacob Juma's Warning to Raila About Ababu

Slain businessman Jacob Juma had warned CORD leader Raila Odinga about a possible fall out with his party's Secretary General Ababu Namwamba.

In tweets posted in June 2015, Juma had asked Odinga to discard Namwamba or else he would destroy both CORD and  Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

"Ababu will destroy CORD. He dines with the enemy, is arrogant and is desperate for power.

"I am NOT a politician but i like Raila. It is not a secret that he listens to me. However, Raila MUST discard Ababu. He will destroy ODM." Juma stated.

The tweets have been brought up amid a growing rebellion in ODM sparked by a section of Western Kenya legislators led by Namwamba.

On Wednesday, Odinga was forced to convene a Central Management Committee meeting where Namwamba and his counterparts were put to task over their alleged rebellion.

The Budalangi lawmaker, who has been labeled a Jubilee mole, was reportedly criticized over concerns that he had absconded party duties. 

In the recent past, the ODM Secretary General has been at loggerheads with other Opposition members who have termed him a thorn in the flesh, calling on the party to kick him out.

Recently a group calling itself, the 'ODM Professionals' led by Lawyer Edwin Sifuna staged a coup where the Advocate, placed himself as the ODM Secretary General.

Here are the tweets:

@RailaOdinga @Wetangulam @BoniMtetezi gentlemen, Ababu will destroy CORD. He dines with the enemy, is arrogant and is desperate for power.

Ababu should work hard and ensure that Luhyaland is ODM's stronghold. He is being used by Jubilee as their informer and spanner boy.
