Comedian Eric Omondi on Saturday night dumped billionaire Jimi Wanjigi for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga during the Luo Festival.
Eric Omondi openly endorsed Raila Odinga during the function, leaving many people confused since he had of late shown interest in working with Jimi Wanjigi.
The comedian had recently resorted to campaigning for the businessman through the popular Fagia wote campaign slogan.
This made him open up that he feared for his life after allegedly receiving threats from unknown people following his decision to support Jimmi Wanjigi.
According to Omondi, he had been threatened through social media as well as through night phone calls ever since he started campaigning for the businessman using the ‘Fagia Wote’ slogan.
Eric Omondi further said that those threatening him had always trailed him wherever he goes in a video he posted on social media.
As a result, the comedian stated that those calling him have been modifying their voices in a bid to make it impossible to conceal their identities.
Determined to continue supporting Jimi Wanjigi, Eric Omondi vowed to continue standing with the billionaire until the last minute.
“Am not backing off, those calling me at night with unknown numbers , this means they are scared, some of them are in the government, they are trying to change their voices but if you listen keenly you will know who they are,” he said.
The comedian added that the republic of Kenya needs young progressive leaders who have never been into office such as Mr. Wanjigi.
“Youths we need a president who understands us, we need a president who cares about us, we need a new face who has not been in office, youth we need Jimmi Wanjigi, I endorse Jimmi Wanjigi” he said.
Wanjigi declared that he will vie for presidency through the ODM ticket while maintaining it was time for fresh blood to bear the party’s flag.
