Azimio leader Raila Odinga has criticised a group of leaders in the country who oppose his African Union Chairmanship (AUC) on the grounds of age.

Odinga made the remarks at a Nairobi hotel on Saturday night during the 74th birthday party of his wife Ida.

"Age is just a number. The difference between the old and the young is only one thing: the old were once young and the old have experience because they have been around," said the Azimio leader.

At the same time, he told off those of the opinion that he should now retire and go home citing that the criticism will not deter his quest for leadership.
