Whenever the names of William Ruto's enemies are mentioned, bet me, COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli's won't miss in the list. The vocal trade unionist has made it his hobby to prophesy doom of Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
In several occasions, Atwoli has divulged that William's name won't be in the ballot save becoming Kenya's fifth president. To ensure his 'prophecy' turns out exactly as foretold, Francis is practically erecting a fortress along Samoei's path to thwart the later's course.
Hitherto, the trade unionist has held consultative meeting with Jubille Party leaders among them David Murathe (vice-chair) and Raphael Tuju (Secretary General). The duo are Ruto's greatest enemies and the question is, why them?
Literally, a friend to your enemy is your enemy. Murathe is the chief campaigner of Anti-Ruto gospel and he has severally promised to stage war in all spheres to ensure the former Agriculture Minister does not succeed Jomo's son.
As a close ally and confidante of Uhuru Kenyatta, David is among the powerful power brokers and this Atwoli knows. Murathe is said to be leveraging the ground to ensure ODM boss takes over after Uhuru's tenure elapses.
With same mission and motive, Atwoli has joined forces with those architecting for Ruto's downfall and should their formula turn accurate, then William's vessel will hit a dead end and as expected, Atwoli will proudly take credit for his accurate prophesy.
