- Mama Ida Odinga urged those who clashed with Raila Odinga to forgive him, saying he never held grudges
- Speaking from Opoda, she acknowledged Raila’s political journey may have offended some, but he always sought reconciliation
- In a moment of spiritual reflection, she expressed faith that Raila’s soul now rests in peace with his Maker
Mama Ida Odinga has urged those who once disagreed with her late husband, Raila Odinga, to forgive him if he ever wronged them.
Speaking at her Opoda home on Thursday, November 6, Ida acknowledged that Raila may have offended many during his political journey.
She emphasized that Raila never held grudges and often reconciled with former adversaries.
“Now I’m asking on behalf of my husband, to all those people who called him names and who thought he was wrong, if he annoyed you, or if there’s something that he did and you did not like, I beg you to forgive him because he’s gone. But I can do that on his behalf. Forgive him because he was easy. He was forgiving people easily. He said, ‘Forgive, and let’s move on.’ So, you also, wherever you are, don’t hold grudges with him. He’s already gone. He is with his maker. He is with Christ. He’s with God. He’s not here,” she said.
In a moment of intercession, Ida expressed confidence that Raila’s spirit was in a place of peace, guided by the life he lived.
“I think the spirit is looking down and saying, what are they crying about? This is a good place. And I’m sure if there are people who go to a good place because of their past deed, Raila is one of those people,” she said.
