The specific quote in the image threatening physical intervention and mentioning "Bondo"has not been documented as an official statement from Ida Odinga in any reputable news source. It appears to be a stylized compilation of her previous metaphorical defense of Sifuna mixed with the intense political rhetoric surrounding the 2026 ODM party divisions.

- A quotation attributed to Ida Odinga claims that she warned people threatening Babu Owino and Edwin Sifuna to stop, stating that they are sons of Odinga.
"Babu and Sifuna are Raila's children now. You people trying to threaten these young men, just wait. Let the day of the rally in Kisumu arrive. I will be with them.
Whoever brings violence, I myself will know what to do. I have heard you have organized goons to disrupt them; now come and disrupt me instead.
Wait for them to go to Homa Bay and disrupt them there, but not in Kisumu. Babu and Sifuna, come even if it means sleeping [here]—Raila built your house here in Bondo. I don’t want to see my children being disrupted like that."
Verdict: False
After an online investigation conducted by JamiiCheck, it was found that the statement was not made by Ida Odinga and is therefore fabricated.
No reputable news source has published this claim, and there is no evidence that Ida Odinga has made any public statement of this nature.
