Speaking to his fans a few days ago, Omondi revealed that he has been contracted by Wanjigi as the billionaire’s chief campaigner for the youth.
According to Omondi, Wanjigi has the perfect understanding of what the youths want since he has a business acumen that can lead youths to prosperity.
“Vijanaa tunahitaji rais mwenye anatujali. Vijanaa tunahitaji mtu fresh, sura mpya; mtu hajakua kwa ofisi. Vijanaa tunaneed rais mweye anaelewa biashara na mahitaji ya vijanaa. Vijanaa, tunahitaji Jimmy Wanjigi. Vijanaa tunaendorse Jimi Wanjigi, Eric Omondi ninaendorse Jimi Wanjigi.

Youths need Jimi Wanjigi; as Eric Omondi I am endorsing Jimi Wanjigi. Eric Omondi is with Jimi Wanjigi,” Eric Omondi said.
Parts of video footage of the comedian endorsing Wanjigi went viral on social media eliciting mixed reactions among Kenyans.
Political commentator Gabriel Oguda on his part criticised Omondi saying he is no longer a youth to advance their agenda.
“Eric Omondi is 40 years old. He’s no longer a youth, per the definition of the law. So, he can’t purport to speak on behalf of Kenyan youths. He’s better placed to speak as a career comic or professional nudist. It is so declassified,” he tweeted.
Youth advocate Shikoh Kihika also weighed in on the matter and tweeted: “why is Eric Omondi shouting on this video? ama the “payer” of the piper said a shout? Anyway, it’s that time again where the non-Youth decide to eat in the name of young people!”
