In a message shared on social media, Njiru praised Winnie for her courage and determination and said she has the backing of many supporters who believe in her cause.
Njiru described Winnie as “indomitable,” meaning she cannot be easily defeated or pushed aside. He encouraged her to keep fighting, saying that she is not alone in her struggle.
“Fight and keep fighting, my dear sister,” he wrote. “We are behind you.” Njiru’s message came at a time when ODM is facing internal disagreements and a heated debate about leadership and direction.
He said Winnie’s fight is not just about personal ambition but about protecting the values and legacy of the party.
Njiru warned that some people inside ODM are acting like “greedy crocodiles,” trying to benefit from the party’s name and influence without respecting its history or the sacrifices made by its leaders.
He argued that such people should not be allowed to take control or weaken the party from within.
Njiru also linked Winnie’s efforts to the expectations of her late father, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
He said the late leader would have wanted his children to stand firm, defend the party, and protect its principles.
According to Njiru, Winnie is doing exactly what her father would have expected.
He urged supporters to remain united and to keep pushing for fairness and transparency within ODM.
Njiru said the party should remain open, democratic, and focused on serving Kenyans, rather than being controlled by a few individuals seeking power.
