Nairobi
senator Mike Sonko has vehemently denied claims that he is harboring
presidential ambitions and that he is likely to be in the race in 2017.
Sonko
has reacted angrily to a recent post by Kenya Post where it was maliciously
reported that he will be the next president based on a recent survey by Ipsos
Synovate where he was ranked as the most popular Senator in the entire
republic.
Sonko
has also trashed the survey results saying he does not believe in opinion
surveys but believe in God the almighty and the good people of Nairobi and
Kenyans in general.
“It
is too early for me to vie for the presidency. I was elected on a coalition
ticket led by two able principals President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy
William Ruto and both whom I respect so much”, said Sonko.
Sonko
went on to say “Uhuru’s leadership is in my heart and if you cut any part of my
body today, you will see President Uhuru’s name flowing in my blood. I can take
a bullet for President Uhuru and his Government”.
According
to Sonko, he is currently concentrating in his studies at the Methodist
University undertaking a Bachelors Degree in Business Management. “I have no
intention of vying for the presidency in the near future; I want to invest on
my education and good leadership for the next 20 years then God willing after
that I can vie for any big seat and I know I will overwhelmingly clinch it. I
have never fought a loosing battle as I have been a school prefect from class
one to form four and now a senator in the university”. Said Sonko. I vied for MP
once and senator once and won in all the two races respectively and still I am
100% sure to clinch the next seat the great people of Nairobi would want me to
vie for because I'm always on God’s side.
Sonko
said this is the time for the Jubilee Administration to concentrate in
development issues and fulfilling pledges we gave to the electorate during the
last general elections campaigns.
“I
wish I knew the offices of Kenya post or one of there bloggers they could
have known my true colours today, but since they are just there to
write stories for their readers to read let, them write any nonsense they
want to write I don't care provided they sleep at night and wake up
to another day”, added the Senator.
