Roots Party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah has claimed he turned down a multi-million offer from unknown people to drop his political bid.
While addressing his supporters during his second visit to the western Kenya region, Wajackoyah said that some individuals were out to lock him out of the presidential race for fear of his growing popularity.
“You will see them come here dressed in suits with stolen money. The other day they tried to offer me KSh 200 million to join their camp, but I refused,” Wajackoyah said.
In a viral video, Wajackoyah claimed those making the offer had felt threatened by his presidential bid.
He, however, did not disclose who made the offer or when it was made.
According to Wajackoyah, he turned down the offer because his bid is unstoppable. “I looked at them and told them I am the most learned man in Africa and I cannot be compromised. I have worked in higher places like United Kingdom and I cannot betray the trust of the people,” Wajackoya explained.
TUKO.co.ke earlier reported that Wajackoyah appointed Omar Lali among his coordinators in various capacities.
