Raila Odinga’s loyal supporter and outspoken political activist, Nuru Okanga, has once again caused a stir online after making bold remarks directed at popular preacher Pastor Ezekiel Odero.
In a viral video circulating on social media, Okanga passionately challenged Pastor Ezekiel to prove that he is a true man of God by performing a miracle — bringing back the late former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga to life.
Speaking with visible emotion, Okanga said the death of Raila had left him and millions of Kenyans heartbroken. According to him, this was not just a political loss but a spiritual wound for the entire nation. “If Pastor Ezekiel is truly anointed,” Okanga declared, “let him show his power by resurrecting Baba. That would be the greatest favor he can do for Kenya right now.”
Okanga went on to express his deep sorrow, saying that he still finds it hard to accept Raila’s death. He revealed that he has been searching for ways to perform a miracle — to breathe life back into the man he described as the pillar of Kenya’s democracy.
The video quickly attracted mixed reactions online. Some Kenyans sympathized with Okanga, saying his statement was a reflection of the raw pain and disbelief that many are still experiencing following Raila’s death. Others, however, cautioned against mocking religion, urging the public to let faith leaders mourn in peace just like everyone else.
Pastor Ezekiel, one of Kenya’s most followed preachers, has not yet responded to Okanga’s remarks. However, the viral challenge has reignited discussions about faith, miracles, and the powerful emotional bond Raila Odinga shared with his supporters.
Raila’s passing has continued to unite Kenyans in grief, with his supporters describing him as a father figure and symbol of courage, resilience, and justice. For Nuru Okanga and many others, the pain of losing Raila feels too deep to bear — a testament to how deeply he touched the hearts of millions.
