Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has dismissed the partnership of Senator Mike Sonko and running mate Polycarp Igathe as saying it is another Jubilee project doomed to fail.
While addressing media at AIC Milimani church on Thursday, Kidero said he was not moved by the duo, adding that Jubilee has had many 'projects' in the past which failed to take off.
“The issue of governorship has disturbed and bothered the Jubilee team. They came with the phrase, ‘liwe liwalo, inyeshe ifanye nini’ yesterday but they have tried many projects before which have been croppers," he said.
“They started with Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa which did not take off, they then came with Peter Kenneth which also did not take and they also had another project involving Dagoretti South MP Dennis Waweru which also never took off,” said Kidero.
He added Jubilee realised that the senator needed another 'project' to boost him and thus they brought in Igathe to rescue him.
"It does not worry me, absolutely not. Come August 8 we will win and not only me but we will also have a majority of seats both in parliament and the county assembly.
"I think that is probably what they were trying to address because the Constitution makers wanted somebody who is educated but they made it easy by only asking for a certificate. A certificate is not education, it is only proof that you attended class," added the governor.
Kidero said history of projects in Nairobi have been dismal and exuded confidence he will be re-elected to complete projects he has initiated.
"Nairobi voters will give us the second term and National Super Alliance will win and I will come back as a governor, Jonathan Mueke as my deputy, Edwin Sifuna as senator and Esther Passaris will come in as the Woman Representative. We are a very strong Nasa team," he said.
