I am the one being accused, so I will respond directly and calmly.
I was with Baba Raila Odinga from the time he first fell ill until his final moments on earth. That is a fact. I do not say this for sympathy, relevance, or political mileage—I say it because it is the truth.
I was with Baba throughout his pain. I know what it felt like. There were moments I genuinely thought I was losing him. Moments when it was only me and one of his security aides, holding Baba, trying to steady him, trying to help him through the pain. This is not a story. This is lived experience.
During that period, Baba and I had extensive conversations—personal, political, and strategic—many of which he chose to have with me privately. I will not disclose those discussions out of respect for him and his family. Silence should not be mistaken for falsehood or fear.
Let me also clarify what is being deliberately misrepresented: in Islam and Somali culture, it is completely normal to refer to elders or close community relations as uncle, cousin, brother, or aunt. These are cultural and religious terms of respect and social closeness—not legal or genealogical claims.
On the matter involving Nurdin/Noordin Haji, using such language does not amount to claiming blood relations. Twisting cultural norms into accusations of fraud is either ignorance or bad faith.
I have never claimed to replace Baba’s family, nor have I ever disrespected Mama Ida or his children. Any suggestion that I insulted, sidelined, or spoke ill of them is false and malicious. I reject it completely.
I am not afraid of scrutiny. I am ready and willing to be interviewed publicly on these matters, at any time, on any credible platform. Truth does not fear examination.
What I will not accept is being turned into a convenient villain so others can fight internal battles or rewrite lived history. I did not force myself into anyone’s life. I was present because Baba allowed me to be present—consistently and knowingly.
So bwana wacheni—you do not understand. Hamuelewi. Wallahi.
Some things are not for noise, timelines, or propaganda. Pain deserves dignity, not spectacle.
I know where I stood. I know what I did. And I know what Baba entrusted me with. Those facts do not change because of online mobs or political theatrics.
I confidently stand by this truth and will not be dragged into manufactured outrage or distractions.
