Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is treating Kenyans to his signature humor once again, this time introducing the public to his weight loss journey with a very special request.In a viral tweet, Sonko made his secret confession of struggling with a growing tummy in his usual transparent manner, writing:
“I am doing my best to lose my big belly and I need a female trainer fast. Let me know how long it would take to notice the effect and how much you will be paying.”
And typical of Sonko, he did not stop there. In another response to a fan’s comment, he shared a throwback photo from his leaner, younger days, cheekily captioning it: “This is me kabla nikuwe na tumbo kubwa” a cheeky reference to his new shape.
Everyone couldn’t help but be glued to the online humor. The post unleashed a storm of reactions from some people applauding the governor for staying true to himself, to others sharing weight loss advice with a couple of good-natured jibs thrown in.”Sonko is the only politician who will request an online female gym trainer and will yet make it trend!” one person noted.
Another quipped, “At least he’s not hiding behind filters. This is the transparency we like to see.”
