Renowned Luhya
Prophet, the late Elijah Masinde, once told the
Luhya community that their leadership would
come from the lake side.
However, his prophesy has been
misinterpreted right, left and centre without
any conclusive and definite answer and to some
point even trashed as not being prophesy at all.
Some interpreters said that Luhyas would
inherit the Presidency from Luos and to be
specific from former Prime Minister, Raila
Odinga, who comes from the lakeside, as
Prophet Masinde had indicated and even forced
former Deputy Prime Minister, Musalia
Mudavadi, to partner with Raila in 2007 with
the hope that the former PM would pass on the
button to him in 2013 just to fulfill Masinde’s
prophesy.
But, have you stopped to wonder that the
context in which Luhyas have continued to
interpret the prophesy could be wrong? Have
you ever imagined that the Luhya community
could be looking in the wrong direction,
forgetting that Budalangi and Funyula
Constituencies lie squarely along Lake Victoria
and could as well fulfill Masinde’s prophesy.
Well, we cannot talk much of Funyula MP, Paul
Otuoma, because he is nothing compared to
Ababu Namwamba as far as Masinde’s
prophesy is concerned.
The prophesy suits Namwamba to a “T”
considering that despite his Budalangi
Constituency being along Lake Victoria, his
own multi-million home in Budalangi is
situated right on the shows of the Lake
Victoria, begging the question of whether he is
the one the Luhya Prophet was talking about as
the Luhya Presidency coming from the
lakeside.
Besides, just coming from the lakeside,
Namwamba has proved to be a force to reckon
in Western with his “crowd pulling” skills and
capability, which has seen him take ODM by
storm.
So Luhyas stop looking in the wrong direction
and support Namwamba for the Presidency
because he could be the one prophesied by
Elijah Masinde.
Could he be the 5th Kenyan President and first
Luhya President for that matter?
Go Namwamba Go
