Five years ago Dr. Eric Adede joined the race for Gor Mahia chairmanship with a storm. He was definitely going to give Ambrose Rachier a run for his money if not defeating him. Raila Odinga stopped him and I remember the day so well. Our friend Roy Kohadha had died and we were all in Alego for the burial.
The entire ODM youth league and Gor Mahia fans were in attendance. After addressing other issues, Raila turned to the upcoming Gor election. Gor ok en gir tuk nyithindo. He stated amidst jeers from Adede supporters, who were the majority. He concluded by appealing to lovers of Kogallo to vote for Rachier. Adede failed.
