Early this week, there was a video clip on social media with the caption ‘Raila goof: Oops ODM leader Raila Odinga forgets to remove cap in honour of national anthem.’

The reaction from his critics was that he is tired, old, and shouldn’t seek the presidency, among other self-assured hubris. Respect elders as they can see far while seated than a boy on top of a pinnacle. Even with advanced years, Baba is a political principality that holds the key to a coalition that can challenge Ruto. Fact!
