My objective is to give the people of Lamu a taste of good leadership. What we should be doing as aspirants is to go out there and show people why they need to vote us," said Fadhil as quoted by the Star.On his part, Imu said Lamu has many challenges that need urgent redress, and that his bid to oust Timamy aims at bringing about the transformation that Lamu residents so much desire.On Thursday last week, Timamy claimed his rival from the Jubilee Party, Fahim Twaha was using Fadhil and Imu to divide his votes.
