Roots Party presidential candidate Prof George Wajackoyah has claimed that he was offered money to drop his presidential bid.

Speaking during a recent campaign trail, the law professor claimed the he received a KSh 200 million offer to opt out of the presidential race.

Wajackoyah, however, clarified that he turned down the offer arguing that his political rivals had been threatened by his rising popularity.

He maintained that he was determined to clinch the top seat in the August poll and he will fight to the last minute.

“Recently they came to my place and said that this Wajackoyah, why don’t we just pay him Ksh.200 million so that he can drop his bid,” Wajackoyah said in a viral video

“I looked at them and told them that I am the most learned man in Africa and I cannot be compromised. I have worked in higher places like the United Kingdom and I can never betray the cause of young people,” Wajackoyah said.

As earlier reported on GOTTA.news, Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) boss Ezekiel Mutua noted that Wajackoyah is a force to reckon with, adding that he will garner more than 1 million votes in the forthcoming elections.

Mutua made his argument after engaging wananchi on their preferred presidential candidate.

“It may sound crazy, but Wajackoyah will cause a re-run. I sat down with a group of young people last night and was shocked to hear the animated conversation on why they love the guy

“If the talks are anything to go by, he will get over 1m votes and that will be a game-changer!” Mutua wrote.
