In a moving and heartfelt revelation that has touched many Kenyans online, Raila Odinga Junior has opened up about the deep and personal reasons that inspired him to marry his longtime partner, Wabui Kibukosya.
Speaking candidly in a recent video shared on social media, Junior expressed immense admiration and gratitude for his wife, describing her as the pillar of strength and calm in his life.
“Wabui is a woman whose strength, intelligence, and kindness bring balance to my life,” Raila Junior said, his tone filled with affection and pride.
The couple, who tied the knot several years ago in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends, have long been admired for maintaining a low-key and grounded relationship despite their public profiles.
Wabui, a talented creative entrepreneur and advocate for mental wellness, is the daughter of the renowned Kibukosya family — a household name in Kenya’s music industry. However, she has carved her own identity beyond her famous lineage, earning respect for her passion for the arts and community empowerment.
Raila Junior revealed that their marriage goes beyond love and attraction; it is founded on mutual respect, shared values, and spiritual faith.
“We’ve faced challenges, like any couple, but our friendship has always anchored us. Wabui has been my biggest support, and I thank God for her every day,” he added.
The candid confession has earned widespread praise from Kenyans, many of whom applauded the couple for embodying genuine love, humility, and partnership in an era where public relationships often face intense scrutiny.
Social media users lauded the couple’s openness, describing their love story as a refreshing example of modern marriage — one built on emotional connection rather than public appearances or material expectations.
“Raila Junior and Wabui’s story is a reminder that love grounded in respect and friendship can truly stand the test of time,” one user commented.
Through their journey together, Raila Junior and Wabui have continued to inspire young couples to prioritize authenticity, empathy, and faith in their relationships. Their union remains a testament that even amid fame and public attention, true love can flourish quietly and gracefully.
