“It’s with great pain that I have learnt of the passing of my long-time friend Ismail Adan Yusuf. Yusuf had the courage to host me and my team at their home in Mandera in the 1990s when the government canceled our meeting, leaving us stuck, with the plane gone.
He later served on the ODM election board. I have lost a true friend. Inna lillahi wa inailayhi rajiun,” said Odinga.
