Isiolo governor Godana Doyo has exuded confidence in recapturing his seat during the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking on Sunday when he launched his reelection manifesto, Doyo defended his administration's track record, noting that he had delivered on key pledges made to the electorate in the run up to the 2013 general elections.
“I am laying bare my development [record] in the last four-and-a-half years which is evident in every part of this county. We have transformed Isiolo through improved access to health, water and early childhood education among others. If you compare my opponents’ manifestos with ours, you will realise why I deserve a second term,” he said.
He further promised his rivals a bruising battle during the forthcoming polls, accusing his main rival and Senator Mohamed Kuti of derailing his development agenda.
“I have faced a lot of opposition since 2013 and I did not know that the fights were coming from within. They plotted how to sabotage my government so that they can have an easy time unseating me this year. The infighting delayed many activities but we are back on track. My position as governor has taught me a lot,” he said.
