He will now be backing Raila and his running mate for the presidency.
While explaining his reason to join the Azimio government, the governor said the ODM leader agreed to support his manifesto.
He said his ideas marry with that of the Azimio leader hence the need to work together.
"Raila Odinga engaged me in a 3-hour discussion and we talked man to man with mzee for three hours. He was the first person who admitted to me that injustice was committed.
"I discussed with him my plan and told him my next move is resistance. He asked me if I give him my manifesto and consider it, and whether I will change my mind. I expounded to him what I think and we discussed frankly man to man," he stated.
Raila will be banking on his support in his bid to win a majority of the Mt Kenya votes which is crucial in determining the presidency.
