While speaking during an interview, Ngilu noted that the Kamba community lacks the numbers needed to propel one to the country's top seat.
She, therefore, advised Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to swallow his pride and drop his presidential bid rather than be disappointed, claiming that the presidential hopeful has wrong advisors.
“If we decide to go alone as the Kamba community, we will be disadvantaging ourselves needlessly,” she noted.
Ngilu proceeded to say that she believes in her theory because she experienced the disappointment that Kalonzo is yet to, at a personal level.
She cited an example of her presidential bid in 1997 and remarked that the reason why she could not get the presidential seat was that her people lacked the numbers needed to make her achieve her goals.
“I ran for the presidency (in 1997) and I did not win simply because our votes as a community are not enough to elevate one to the presidency," recalled the governor.
Ngilu went ahead and advised Kalonzo that the only way he can have a chance of being in government is by giving his support to the former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga.
The governor had the same message for the One Kenya Alliance Leaders; Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi, Kenya African National Unity leader Gideon Moi and FORD Kenya party leader Moses Wetangula.
