This Puts Babu Owino in a Tight Spot: The Aoko Attack On IDA Odinga and ODM’s 2027 Equation

Video Description

Is Babu Owino walking into a political trap? In this video, we break down the growing tension inside ODM after Maverick Aoko’s relentless social media attacks on Mama Ida Odinga. While Babu Owino has publicly distanced himself—calling Mama Ida the “mother who feeds him”—the political damage may already be done. In the post-Raila era, the Odinga red line is more sensitive than ever. For Babu Owino, who is eyeing the Nairobi gubernatorial race in 2027, this is no longer a social media drama—it is a high-stakes political dilemma. We analyze: • The Proxy War: Why many in ODM believe Aoko speaks for Babu, and why denials may not calm the party’s old guard. • The 2027 Equation: Can Babu win Nairobi without the Odinga family’s goodwill? And how rivals like Edwin Sifuna and Simba Arati could benefit. • The “Mother” Factor: Why attacking Ida Odinga carries deep cultural and political consequences within the ODM base. Babu Owino is in a tight spot. If he cuts off Aoko, he risks losing his online army. If he stays silent, he risks alienating ODM’s inner circle. Watch until the end as we break down three possible scenarios that could decide Babu Owino’s political fate before the 2027 elections. Has Babu Owino done enough to distance himself from the attacks on Mama Ida? Or is the bridge already burnt?
