The businessman man cum politician started his tour of the Nyanza region on Thursday.
Speaking at the Kisumu International Airport as he began his tour of Nyanza, Wanjigi said that he did not need anyone's permission to visit the region.
"I saw some letter saying ODM officials are not aware of my visit. Why do I need permission to visit Nyanza or any other place in this country?”
“This is a free country and I am an ODM member who will tour the region and popularise the party the best way I know how. I am a die-hard member of ODM so nobody should restrict my movement. This is democracy," Wanjigi told journalists.
The businessman urged the public to vote out the current crop of leaders in order to spearhead an economic revolution.
“The current crop of leaders cannot spearhead any economic revolution because they are part of the problem. The first step of the revolution is to clean the house,” he stated.
