Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has sensationally claimed that a top Government official has predicted his death.
The governor dropped the bombshell while speaking during an interview on Citizen TV.
Sonko stated that the senior official, whom he refused to expose his identity, has been blocking him from executing his duties as the County boss.
He mentioned that the same government official had formerly degraded him as an idiot person who cannot be elected as governor.
"Ï am very sad that the same person in Government who said that Sonko did not go to school, Sonko has a criminal record is the same person now saying that Sonko is a failure even predicting my death," he said.
He warned the unnamed government official against belittling him saying he has the full support of the president and his deputy in the line of serving the people of Nairobi.
An enraged Governor added that those opposing him also include cartels and a group of lawyers who are reluctant to fight him by calling for the disbandment of Nairobi as a county.
"There is a coalition of a cartel that has been created to fight me. They have noticed that there are good things so they are now concentrating on the negativity.
"Now they are just doing diversionary tactics, character assassination and at the same time they are calling for the disbandment of Nairobi county," he said.
Sonko appealed to the Nairobians to give him another five-year term in order to glorify the city in term of development.
"Why do you want me to go home within five months? Why don’t you give me time? Why don’t you come and help me?
"Let them make noise but when we will be launching all these projects I am working on thy will stand in awe," he said.
Mr. Sonko is on record pointing fingers at Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho for undermining his leadership and hiring cartels to frustrate his efforts to execute his campaign manifestos.
