Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his People Democratic Party will be used by Deputy President William Ruto to make Nyanza inroads.
Obado will the point man in wider scheme to starve off ODM leader Raila Odinga’s wings in his Nyanza in the 2022 general elections.
The Daily Nation reported that Obado met with DP’s brother, David Ruto, who launched the ‘Hustler’ movement in Kisumu.
The brother hosted Obado at his Kileleshwa home in Nairobi which bore plans to put campaigns in action.
Obado confirmed meeting the DP’s brother but declined to disclose details of their discussions.
“It’s true we met and as politicians, we discussed a number of issues whose details will come to light in due course,” Obado told the Nation.
The governor, who also confirmed being the de facto leader of PDP, however cautioned that the visit should not be blown out of proportion since the DP’s brother does not hold any position in the political circles.
“Let us not create a mountain out of the visit. It was not political and should be treated as such. If I’ve anything political, I’d discuss it with the Deputy President himself. Let people not read too much into such meetings,” the governor said.
