"Avoid any form of handshake like a plague, carry 2 or 3 gentlemen, and avoid the current Azimio brigade."

Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has shared a piece of advice to ODM leader Raila Odinga hours after President William Ruto invited him for talks.

The MP in a tweet told the ODM leader to be aware of the man he is dealing with and ready himself for constructive talks.

The MP has, however, expressed doubt about the invitation for talks but asked the ODM leader to honour the invite and ensure what will be discussed has a clear timeline for deliverables.

"Though I smell a rat but just do it. Raila Odinga, remember who you are dealing with. Be smart and maximise wisdom. Make it simple and straight to the point. Timeliness with clear deliverables," he said.

The went on to ask the ODM leader to strike a deal that will give birth to initiatives such as the BBI and Power sharing.

Amisi further advised the ODM leaders to avoid the Azimio brigade while heading to the talks.

"Stop the nonsense of BBI again but touch on the cost of living, finance bill, IEBC, and a few constitutional amendments. Those killed and injured; families must be compensated," he added.

"Avoid any form of handshake like a plague, carry 2 or 3 gentlemen, and avoid the current Azimio brigade; they are conflicted, lazy with immature ambitions."

Amisi reminded Raila that while he is a recognised Statesman, that should not make him easy.

He implored the ODM party boss to be rough and tough such that he should remind Ruto the streets are open for demos in the event a deal flops.

"A mistake you make now will kill you forever, and you got a chance in a million to excite back your support base. The base is huge and still growing! You have my blessings. Go yee and conquer!"
