Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko changed his political tune and supported the current governor Johnson Sakaja after opposing him since his election.
Speaking on Tuesday, January 10, Sonko called on all Nairobi residents to support the current city boss.
He stated that his current support had come to be after observing that Sakaja had also changed for the best.
“Since he has shown wisdom and some sign of respect by apologizing to the Deputy President let's now support him to work for Nairobians,” he declared.
The former governor was responding to nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba who assured Kenyans that Sakaja’s impeachment was looming.
Speaking during an interview on TV47, Orwoba warned the governor reminding him that he was elected on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket.
"So, however way he looks at it, unless he wants to come out clean and tell us he used UDA to get into office and after that, he really does not care, he must cede ground,” Orwoba noted.
Sonko's change of heart came after Sakaja's appearance in an interview on Inooro TV where he reiterated his respect for the Deputy President referring to him as his elder and a senior within the Kenya Kwanza ranks.
“I respect the DP, he is older than me even politics-wise. Maybe they are instances in which we disagreed but the best way was sitting down with him rather than publicizing our disagreements," Sakaja stated in the interview.
Previously, the ex-governor had threatened to mobilize the collection of signatures to send home Sakaja if he continued to harass city business people.
He accused Sakaja of disrespecting the Nairobi people who put him in power.
