"They Killed Me Before My Time" Heartbreak As Raila’s Old Heartfelt Reaction to Death Rumours That Were Circulating Online

Before his passing, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was well aware of the disturbing death rumours that circulated on social media earlier this month.

According to Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo, the ODM leader reacted to the reports with a mix of surprise, humor, and grace, a testament to the resilience and calm that defined his political life.

Speaking during a recent memorial gathering, Millie shared that Raila had expressed disbelief that some Kenyans had already “killed and buried him” online while he was receiving treatment abroad.

“Baba told me jokingly, ‘I am even surprised that there are people who have killed me in Kenya and already buried me,’” she recounted.

The audience responded with a mix of laughter and sadness, reflecting the bittersweet reality of the moment.

Earlier in October, Raila’s absence from the public eye had fueled intense speculation about his health.

Concerned Kenyans flooded social media with questions, prompting Ida Odinga, his wife, to assure the nation that he was recuperating and in stable condition.

His elder brother, Oburu Odinga, later confirmed that the ODM leader was undergoing medical treatment in India, a information that quelled the rumors but also underscored the public’s deep interest in well-being.

Millie Odhiambo, one of Raila’s long-time loyalists, used the moment to reflect on the dangers of misinformation and the culture of insensitivity that often surrounds public figures.

She emphasized forgiveness, noting that Raila’s legacy was rooted in unity, even in the face of betrayal or falsehood.

For those who killed Baba before his time, we forgive you, but we will never forget,” she said, drawing applause from the mourners.

Her remarks painted a poignant picture of a man who, even in his final days, remained unshaken by public opinion or political chatter.

Raila Odinga, often called “Bab a,” had s, spent decades weathering political storms, imprisonment, and controversy, emerging each time with a disarming sense of humor and hope for a better Kenya.

As tributes continue to pour in following his death, Millie’s revelation adds a deeply human layer to hisstoryy one that reminds Kenyans of Raila’s humility and strength.

He faced even rumors of his own death with laughter and grace, embodying the resilience of a leader whose spirit could not be silenced in life or in legend.
