On Thursday, June 25, 2020, Mombasa County Governor Ali Hassan Joho sought to reassure Kenyans and ODM supporters that party leader Raila Odinga is recuperating well after undergoing a procedure abroad.
According to Governor Joho, who is also the ODM Deputy Party Leader, he had spoken to Mr. Odinga earlier in the morning and the AU High Representative for Infrastructure was in high spirits.
"This morning I had the opportunity to speak to my party leader. I feel happy and encouraged that he’s progressing really well. So for us as a people, more importantly the fraternity of ODM, we continue to pray for our leader," said Joho.
Mr. Odinga’s elder brother and EALA MP Dr. Oburu Odinga had earlier told the Nation newspaper that the ODM party chief is in a Dubai hospital for “a minor surgical operation on his back.”
Governor Joho further added that: "I want to tell our supporters that our leader is strong, our leader is solid, he is recovering well, and soon he shall land back in Kenya and continue with the journey of ensuring we achieve our agenda of uniting the people of Kenya."
