If you attack me, I will confront you back – Millie Odhiambo warns Governor Wanga

Suba South MP Millie Odhiambo has warned Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga against taking her respect for granted.

Speaking on Tuesday, September 22, Odhiambo described Wanga as a tough and brave woman, drawing a comparison between the two leaders. 

She also acknowledged Wanga’s position as the Chairperson of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and described her as a younger sister.

However, Odhiambo said her respect for Wanga should not be interpreted as fear or weakness, maintaining that she would confront the governor whenever she felt attacked.

“Gladys Wanga, I love you. You are a tough and brave woman, just like me. If you attack or confront me, as you always do, I will confront you back. I am not afraid. I respect you as my younger sister and as the Chairperson of ODM, but don’t take that for granted,” she said.

This comes a month after Odhiambo told elected leaders in the Broad-based government that attacking opponents will not guarantee victory in the elections.

Speaking on Monday, August 17, she condemned the attack on the Linda Mwananchi team in Homa Bay County, stating that the trend of political intolerance in the country was alarming.

Odhiambo called on leaders to embrace politics of ideologies to woo voters ahead of the 2027 General Election.

“If we want to win, especially those of us who are in the Broad-based government, we can only win by speaking our ideologies, not by beating people. We actually lose people when we are violent,” the MP stated.

Odhiambo further condemned the attack on members of the fourth estate covering the Linda Mwananchi rally in Homa Bay by armed goons.

She termed the practise as barbaric for targeting journalists who were just doing their job. Once again, she asked her colleagues how they expected media coverage yet some of them were allegedly behind the attacks.

“If we are going to the level where we are attacking journalists yet we are the same ones who go around and complain how journalists don’t cover our issues, does it make sense?

“To tell you the truth, it is one of the most idiotic things that I have ever seen happening,” she added.
