Speaking on the seventh anniversary of the agreement that saved the country from civil war, Mr Odinga said him and former President Mwai Kibaki received calls and emissaries from leaders of permanent members of the UN Security Council who asked them to form a Coalition Government in 2008.
“I talked to various Heads of State and Governments. Africa was not left behind and the President of Ghana, as Chairman of the AU, spoke to me and Kibaki before initiating the Committee of Eminent Persons led by Dr Kofi Annan. UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, came to push for peace and resolution of the crisis,’’ Raila said.
Raila said were it not for Koffi Annan, the country would have gone to the dogs since everybody was planning how to kill his neigbour.
“My election was rigged and my supporters had gone mad. They knew I won the election and that is why they were expressing anger by demonstrating,” Raila said.
He said the same thing would have happened in 2013 but he calmed his supporters after his victory was stolen by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto.
