Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has come out guns blazing to dismiss persistent allegations linking him to drug trafficking, just days after publicly declaring that he is now born again.
In a fiery and emotionally charged statement shared on his social media platforms, Sonko pushed back against what he described as a long-running smear campaign fueled by political enemies and propaganda.
“I will not stay silent while lies are spread about me. I have never sold drugs, those were politics and propaganda,” Sonko stated firmly, signaling a shift from his previously measured responses to such claims.
The outspoken politician went a step further, directly challenging his critics to substantiate their accusations with evidence.
“Anyone with evidence should come forward. Enough is enough,” he added, making it clear that he is ready to confront the allegations head-on.
Sonko’s remarks come at a time when he has been making headlines for a different reason, his recent spiritual transformation.
The former governor announced that he had given his life to Christ, a move that sparked widespread reactions across the country, with supporters praising his decision while skeptics questioned the timing.
In his latest message, Sonko appeared to draw strength from his newfound faith, attributing his success and resilience to divine intervention.
“I thank God for this journey… God has done great miracles in my life. He has multiplied my blessings. My testimony is coming soon,” he wrote, hinting at a deeper personal story he intends to share publicly.
Known for his flamboyant lifestyle, high-profile charity work, and dramatic political career, Sonko has often found himself at the center of controversy.
However, he maintained that despite repeated claims of his impending downfall, he continues to thrive.
“And if you’re waiting for me to go broke, you’ll wait until the Indian Ocean dries up,” he quipped, dismissing critics who have predicted his financial ruin.
The renewed denial is likely to reignite public debate around the long-standing allegations, even as Sonko seeks to rebrand himself through his faith and personal transformation.
As the conversation unfolds, all eyes remain on whether his critics will respond to his challenge, and whether his promised testimony will shed more light on his journey from controversy to conviction.
