He said the DP has been to the region before for development agenda.
"We will be with the DP in March in our region. The residents of this region are looking forward to receiving him. He has the interest of our people and that is why he is coming to empower the youth and women," Robi told the Star on phone.
The DP is schedule to embark on tours to ODM strongholds even as a former strategist of Raila has said Luo Nyanza owes Ruto a political debt and should be paid back in 2022.
"Apart from the DP being ahead of the pack in relation to other 2022 presidential candidates, a Ruto Presidency will guarantee the Lake Region tangible development that entails revitalization of the cotton and sugar industries; value-addition to fishing supply chain, facilitation of a access to credit for trade and entrepreneurship; and infrastructure development as an enabler," he told the Star.
He said Luo Nyanza is ready for a paradigm shift "from retrogressive and parochial political rhetoric to an issue-based and progressive political narrative anchored on a tangible and sustainable development agenda".
Owalo noted that the reason why Nyanza has embraced Ruto is because of his "issue based, tribe-less, and responsive agenda for all Kenyans."
"We are inspired by the Deputy President’s hustler empowerment agenda anchored on a bottoms-up economic policy framework that would effectively address the challenges facing the poor segments of the Kenyan society that has hitherto been overlooked since independence," he said.
He added, "we are sick and tired of and would no longer be part and parcel of the vicious-circle of opposition politics that has characterized Luo Nyanza in the past."
