Why was Babu Owino dragged into Aoko’s attacks on Ida? The controversial social media personality is a staunch supporter of Babu, which is why many Kenyans have been urging him to ask her to stop the attacks or publicly condemn them.
Babu Owino defends relationship with Ida Odinga In response, Babu clarified that while Aoko is his friend, he doesn’t always provide her with information to post, as some may assume.
The lawmaker stated that the blogger is independent-minded. Babu also stated that Raila Odinga Jr. and Rosemary are his friends, and he would never want anyone to insult their mother.
“Maverick Aoko is my friend and my fierce supporter, of which I’m truly grateful and appreciative of. Oftentimes, when she posts on X, people are under the impression that I am the one who tells her what to post. Maverick is an independent-minded person. I do not know her sources and have never told her to attack the Odinga Family. Winnie Odinga is my friend, Junior is my Friend and Rosemary is my friend too. How can I insult their only Mother? Mama Ida loves me like her own son, welcomes me home and gives me food whenever I visit her. I can never insult such a mum. She’s been good to me, and I love her,” Babu wrote.
