Jimmy Wanjigi is not a heavyweight whose punch can land on Baba – ODM whispers.

As he taunts and flaunts his desire, ambition, and passion to challenge Baba on ODM presidential ticket, Jimmy Wanjigi seems to lack the acumen of appeasing Baba’s supporters into supporting him. The more he speaks, the more Baba’s die-hards are not happy with blunk talk.

He has been seen in various media houses declaring that Baba’s time is over and he has repeated the claim that Baba cannot lead another revolution. This statement is causing a lot of untold pain in the hearts and minds of Baba’s supporters. They are listening to him and just wondering aloud, why can’t Jimmy just persuade the ODM members to support him without tagging and dragging Baba’s name in his novitical politics.

Many agree, it is a good thing to energize the ODM support base as it prepares to give a gigantic stub at the presidency, but antagonizing the apex of ODM is something many supporters of Baba are not willing to take it lightly. Whispering in low tones, the supporters are saying to Jimmy Wanjigi do your campaign without mentioning the name of Baba in a negative light.

Jimmy Wanjigi has announced he will take Baba head to head on the ODM presidential ticket. But in other forums, many pundits believe, Jimmy is not serious about his presidential bid, his final outcome will be Nairobi Governorship and not the presidency. As an individual, Jimmy lacks political networks and muscles that can enable him to run effectively for the presidency.

People believe, Kenya is not America, you might be successful in personal business but when it comes to ground politics, things are not always rossy. He has not tested the real battle. Jimmy Wanjigi has not been seen in any public rallies, political demonstrations, or even in the political funeral, does he really understand how muddy and murky Kenyan politics is?

During every political season, we normally have newbies who arrive on the scene with grand ideas of how they are going to change the political scenery but the moment the real politics begins, they always fizzle out because they cannot sustain the real heat on the ground. This sounds like the real scenario that is going to face the son of Maina Wanjingi.

The best chance that Jimmy Wanjigi stands in the coming general election is the governorship of Nairobi city. If he changes his mind, he will win this seat early in the morning if going by Awoli’s pronouncement is anything to quote. So Jimmy Wanjigi is not a heavyweight who can box with Baba. He should look for his size in the position of the governorship of Nairobi. The whispers within ODM said.
