Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed that he now has a close relationship with former president Uhuru Kenyatta and former first lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
Speaking during a media roundtable vernacular stations, the DP Rigathi Gachagua famously referred to as Riggy G stated that Uhuru has become his friend since he apologized for mudslinging him during the elections period.
“Uhuru, Mama Ngina and the mountain people accepted my apology. Uhuru became my friend and besides speaking more often, there are things we are doing together.” Gachagua revealed.
Early this year, DP Rigathi Gachagua apologized to the former First Lady for bad politics during the 2022 General Elections.
The DP sked for forgiveness for tainting the names of Mama Ngina and Uhuru during the election campaigns.
“I am sorry for involving Mama Ngina Kenyatta in the last general elections politics. She is our mother. I therefore ask for forgiveness on behalf of our team for any inconvenience caused to her. I will never allow anyone to demean her or anyone from the region.” Gachagua said in March this year.
“The former President Uhuru Kenyatta is our son. We worked together for 17 years and only disagreed for 2 years and now that’s the past. I pray for him in his retirement. Uhuru is one of us. We shall talk with everyone.” He added.
In 2022, Gachagua had taken several bowls on the former first lady and her son.
In one instance, he declared that Mama Ngina should surrender half of the Kenyatta land estate to the Mau Mau and their children claiming the land was grabbed.
The DP revealed that he had mobilized the families to receive the land from the former first family.
