Ever since Oburu Oginga taking over the ODM leadership, Abuga Makori has been defending him wholeheartedly and today, things weren’t different.
Through his official X account, Abuga Makori highlighted the extraordinary commitment of the Siaya County Senator, affectionately referred to as the “Supreme Leader.”
According to Abuga, despite his advanced age of 82, Oburu remains a model of diligence in the Senate, staying from the opening to the closing of every session while actively contributing to proper legislation.
Makori emphasized that younger senators are often amazed by Oburu’s energy and stamina, describing it as nothing short of extraordinary.
This steadfast presence underscores his deep passion for public service and legislative work. As a veteran politician from the Odinga family—son of Kenya’s first Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga—Oburu has long been a key figure in opposition politics.
The post also credits him with playing a pivotal role in stabilizing the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), where he now serves as party leader following significant transitions within the party.
In an era where political fatigue can set in quickly, Oburu’s endurance serves as an inspiration, proving that age is no barrier to effective leadership and dedication.
His example challenges stereotypes about elderly politicians and reinforces the value of experience in guiding Kenya’s democratic processes.
