Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi
As the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) debate heats up, renowned city lawyer Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has revealed that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is highly likely to oppose the BBI referendum slated for 2021.
Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, the former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s lawyer predicted that it is highly likely that Kenyans will not vote in the BBI referendum, adding that should they vote, it is highly likely that Odinga will be leading the opposing side.
“ BREAKING NEWS. (a) 80% chance that Kenyans WILL NOT vote in a referendum to change the constitution (bbi) in 2021 (b) In the unlikely event that Kenyans go to referendum to change the constitution (bbi) in 2021, 95% chance that Hon Raila and ODM will lead the NO VOTE! ” he wrote.

The Senior Counsel made the bold prediction after reports on The Star indicated that the ODM team is unhappy with the amendment made to some sections of the BBI document.
According to the report, ODM is particularly unhappy with amendments made on the distribution of the 70 new constituencies and appointment of IEBC commissioners.
Ahmednasir’s sentiments comes days after outspoken Narok senator Ledama Ole Kina claimed that the head of state is planning to betray his hand-shake friend and Orange Democratic Party Leader Raila Odinga.
“In 2022 Kenyans should vote for ideas not money. There is one guy who said you can rent a Kikuyu but you cannot buy them. We are leasing them right now to support us and we reciprocating on this Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) thing…but they will never ever support Raila Odinga,” said the legislator
