Untold story: How jaramogi Odinga Told Raila He will struggle to be president until his sunset Years

"Raila Odinga's ability to mobilise people for a positive or negative course should never be doubted. At one time in early 90's he even organised violence against his own father (Jaramogi Oginga Odinga)" ~ Proffesor Oeri Tumbo
In 1993, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga had just lost in a presidential race (in December 1992) by finishing a disappointing fourth behind Moi, Matiba and Kibaka felt it was time to take over the Luo vote block from his father who had reigned in Luoland since pre-colonial times. He organized goons who attacked & disrupted his father's FORD Kenya meeting. There was a brief moment of bitter exchange of words between the father & son. Raila Odinga was so determined to take over Luo vote block because Jaramogi could not guarantee a victory considering that he was in his sunset years. Jaramogi died a year later in January 1994 and it's alleged that he never spoke to Raila Odinga since that unfortunate incident. After Jaramogi's death, Raila Odinga became the defacto leader of opposition politics in Luoland though he lost the control of FORD Kenya Party to Hon Michael Kijana Wamalwa.

And just like his father, Raila Odinga's journey to State House has continued to be a mirage though his ability to cause violence is very disturbing. Ruto duo must therefore take serious his threats to cause civil disobedience.
Raila stormed with hired goons into Ford Kenya Delegate conference which his father was chairing and started heckling him almost putting everything to a stand still his father who was irritated told him "Amolo,shut up! and tell those youths to go away".

Unfortunately Raila insisted to be heard,in his mind Raila thought his father was too old to be the chairman and Ford Kenya leader and wanted to inherit him by force.

With that in mind his goons continued shouting his father down with all blessings from Raila and that's when Jaramogi got more furious told Raila this.

"Amolo it's good that you have found it worth to disrupt this conference.

Remember,I started this struggle since independence, way before you were even born.

I have fought Kenyatta and Moi but never succeeded, am still struggling now to be the president of Kenya up to now.

I want to tell you this,if your intention is to sink me down for a take over you will also struggle until your sunset days trying to be the president, and you will never be.
That's the curse Raila is struggling with.
