ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga Singled Out Nyandarua Senator John Methu as he appreciated his colleagues in the House for their support following his return to the Senate.

Speaking on Thursday, November 12, Oburu, who was absent due to illness, described Methu as a friend, and one he did not intend to lose despite being on different sides of the political divide.

He said the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Secretary General consistently checked up on him when he was sick, both in person and on the phone.

“I want to mention my friend, the DCP Party Secretary General, Senator Methu. He called and came to visit me when I was sick, yet people think that we are enemies because of the statements we make out there.

“We may differ, but we are still leaders of this country, and we are still friends. You don’t destroy friendship because you have different views,” he said.

The Siaya Senator offered his counsel to his fellow Senators, stating that political differences should never escalate into enmity.

He further said that Kenyans should never be divided or urn on one another because of elections. Oburu argued that the country should remain as it is even after the 2027 polls.

“This country is bigger than all of us. Let us continue working together as leaders; whoever wins, let them win fairly. Let democracy prevail, and we will continue working together as one country and one people,” Oburu reiterated.

The ODM Leader said that when he was ill, he knew that he would not die because he had not yet accomplished his mission.

Earlier, the Senate Speaker Amason Kingi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula led a delegation of Senators to Oburu's home to check up on his recuperation progress.

The Siaya Senator reassured his colleagues that he had improved and would resume official duties soon.
