Former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of abandoning him and ultimately kicking him out of the Nairobi Gubernatorial position. 

The impeached governor made his remarks on Thursday, December 31, during Feisal Bader's homecoming in Msambweni, Kwale County.

He faulted the Head of State for also abandoning close political allies who had campaigned for him.

"He has turned on everyone including Aden Duale, Kipchumba Murkomen, Susan Kihika and he also betrayed me, a close friend and brother," Sonko stated.

The Tangatanga team had convened at Babla grounds, Kwale County to welcome Feisal Bader after he defeated Orange Democratic Movement (ODM's) candidate Omar Boga during the recent Msambweni by-elections.

This was not the first time Mike Sonko made daring and unsubstantiated remarks while addressing a crowd.

Recently, during the burial of Machakos senator Boniface Kabaka, Sonko alleged that the Senator did not die of unprescribed medications as reports indicated.

"Before his death, Kabaka was vocal about a piece of land that some individuals wanted to grab ...We know what you did and I want to tell other leaders that if they continue to keep silent about such matters, they will be next," Sonko claimed.

He cited that fresh investigations needed to be conducted, announcing that he would pay for the lawyer that would represent Kabaka's family.

He also said that the damning allegations were not a result of anger from his impeachment.

During the burial ceremony of Kabaka, Sonko also warned Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka to be wary of his close allies alleging that they would use him to pass the referendum and later abandon him.
