Mike Mbuvi Sonko has launched a fresh conflict with current Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja accusing him of running the county government bullishly.
Speaking to Nation, Sonko bushed Sakaja saying that he should be grateful that “Uhuru messed” his chance of being on the ballot because he would not have been the Governor if he vied.

“Ni Uhuru tuu alileta ujuaji mingi ya pesa nane. But ningekua kwa debe haungekua Governor wa Nairobi,” Sonko claimed.
Occasionally, Sonko has been accusing former President Uhuru Kenyatta of engineering his impeachment from office.
However, Uhuru has equally admitted partly that he had a hand in Sonko’s ouster from office, the impeachment which was upheld by various courts including the Supreme Court terming him unfit to vie for any elective seat.
Sonko-Sakaja war begun when Sonko received what he termed as “numerous complaints” from a section of leaders and some City residents whom he says were lamenting over the governor’s style of leadership.
“Respect the great people of Nairobi. Na kung’olewa si lazima wananchi wakung’owe. We can use the power of the people to remove you from that seat,” Mike lamented.
Mbuvi further warned the Sakaja of any attempt to disrespect the UDA party, President William Ruto and his deputy, claiming that they will not allow that to happen.
“Tumekunyamazia sana because we respect you. But ukianza kudharau UDA, President and Deputy President, I am sure we are going to cause havoc,” Sonko exclaimed.
Sonko asked the governor to consult all stakeholders before making key decisions saying that it is wrong for him to ignore key decisions like the ones made by the County Assembly.
“Respect everyone including the business community. MCAs have lifted the ban on nightclubs and you are insisting the ban is still there. Wacha kudharau wananchi,” Said Sonko.
