The Nasa leader said dismissed claims of division in the coalition.
“You should dismiss reports that Nasa is on the verge of collapse. We will remain united until we achieve our goals,” said Mr Odinga.
Busia Senator Amos Wako urged the ODM leader not to retire from politics until the country achieves the liberation he has fought for.
“In the Bible, Moses took up the struggle when he was 78 years. Mr Odinga is still very young and he should not go anywhere,” said the former Attorney-General.
The leaders spoke during the funeral of Siaya Senator James Orengo’s uncle in Nyawara Village, Ugenya.
Mr Orengo’s uncle, David Odhiambo Orengo, died at the age of 87.
ELECTION
At the funeral, Nasa leaders accused the Jubilee administration of colluding with the Judiciary to order for nullification of elections of their members.
Mr Chris Karan, whose election was nullified by the High Court in Kisumu, urged residents to re-elect him to maintain Nasa’s strength in the National Assembly.
“I am ready to face my opponent any day that the electoral commission will announce,” he said.
Mr Odinga said the party would back members whose elections were nullified.
“Our religion in politics is ODM and anyone who does not subscribe to this is not our friend,” he said.
Other leaders who spoke included Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga, MPs Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja), James Nyikal (Seme), TJ Kajwang (Ruaraka), Elisha Odhiambo of Gem and Kisumu Deputy Governor Mathews Owili.
