am still strong and ready to lead the third liberation which we have begun.
“They expected that I would come back in a wheelchair. They were wrong. Today, I am much stronger and prepared to lead the country’s third liberation,” Odinga said as quoted by Standard.
This is the first time since the 2017 election that Odinga hinted

the country through the Building Bridges Initiative.
