“You are too old to be elected as a governor” Oparanya tells Anyang Nyong’o

“You are too old to be governor”, Anyang Nyong’o has been told.
Kakamega Governor, Wycliffe Oparanya has said the Kisumu Senator, Anyang Nyong’o is too old to be elected as a governor and should drop his bid for governor,
Oparanya Instead urged Nyong’o to focus on Senatorial duties since governorship requires energy of a fit and able ‘younger man’.
” the ODM governor said.
 
Oparanya insisted that the Kisumu senator should listen to him and drop his bid to vie for Kisumu governor post at least considering his stature in the orange party.
The Kakamega county boss instead drummed up support for Kisumu incumbent governor, Jack Ranguma saying he deserves a second term.
 “ Oparanya said.
The 6o year old Oparanya was speaking in Kisumu West at the burial of Environment City director Thomas Sweta.

Oparanya urged Kisumu residents to reelect his age mate, Ranguma (62year) so that he can implement the projects he has started.
Oparanya said.
The deputy ODM boss told off senators who want to unseat governors, accusing them of being self-centered and selfish.
Oparanya said.
 
However between the job description of a governor and a president, the office of a president is more taxing, consuming, intensive and sure backbreaking compared to the office of the governor.
Oparanya fully supports Raila Odinga who is 71 years old bid to be the 5th president of Kenya, Anyang Nyong’o and Raila are age mates both are (71year) yet Oparanya sees Raila as fit, able and energetic to endure all night meeting and then in the same breath claims Nyong’o to be too old! Really? It does not add up.
