Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar has launched a scathing attack on Governor Hassan Joho, terming him a fake sultan.
The senator, who is contesting against Joho in the Mombasa gubernatorial race, said the governor has been thriving on propaganda. Omar further accused the county boss of condemning top officials in the Jubilee government falsely.He at the same time rubbished claims that Joho is the most influential politician from the Coastal region."Joho is just branding himself as a sultan and the most influential person in politics yet he is only a sultan known for condemning top government officials falsely. He is just a fake sultan and only social media fanatics recognise him," said Omar, as quoted by the Standard. He hit out at Joho following the recent billboard row in the county, saying the Governor is free to put posters all over the county but they will not change the minds of voters.Omar exuded confidence he will beat Joho in the August polls to become the next Mombasa governor."Joho is already a loser and I am already the victor. Everyone knows. The people of Mombasa, the media and including himself. He can go ahead and put his billboards in every wards of Mombasa County," he added.
