In a post reacting to Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka's solidarity visit to Mavoko residents facing alleged state-backed land evictions linked to East African Portland Cement PLC, Njiru declared: "The ground has spoken, and loudly so - Ruto is a cancer to Kenya! ONE TERM remains inevitable."
Njiru, known for his fiery critiques of the administration including accusations of fueling division, mishandling national issues like cancer treatment, and presiding over alleged abductions framed his message as a direct response to growing public discontent. He joined Kalonzo and other opposition figures, including Hon.
Eugene Wamalwa, Hon. JB Muturi, and Hon. Robert Mbui, at the Mavoko gathering, where residents recounted decades of living on the land before what they describe as extortionate "regularisation" schemes starting in 2023, followed by night-time demolitions backed by police.
Kalonzo condemned the actions as "state-sponsored banditry," vowing legal action through his team, including Njiru, who plans to write to the Inspector General of Police demanding protection for citizens rather than enforcement for private interests.
Njiru's blunt "cancer" metaphor and insistence on a single term for Ruto echo his earlier statements predicting the president's political downfall, often tying it to economic hardships, governance failures, and regional grievances in Mt Kenya.
As a respected advocate who previously represented figures like former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during impeachment proceedings, his shift toward supporting opposition unity particularly around Kalonzo—signals eroding support in the president's traditional stronghold.
Analysts view this as bad news for Ruto's re-election ambitions, amid rising opposition coordination and public frustration over land rights, security, and economic promises.
Njiru's words reinforce a narrative that the "ground" in key regions has turned decisively against the regime, making a one-term presidency increasingly likely unless major course corrections occur.
The statement, posted in the evening of January 30, 2026, has amplified calls for accountability and could fuel further protests if unresolved issues persist.
