Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko splashed over Ksh 1 Million on alcohol as a birthday gift for former president Uhuru Kenyatta.
In a video shared on social media, Sonko is seen accompanied by his team at a local liquor store cross-checking the various expensive alcohol brands displayed.
They then selected specific brands amounting to Ksh1,029,000, one of the liquor purchased was the Louis XIII, a brandy by Remy Martin valued at Ksh420,000.
"How much is it?" Sonko asked to which the cashier lady replied "It's Ksh1,029,000," Sonko then handed his credit card for swiping.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kenyatta, happy birthday to you," Sonko sang.
In another post on his socials, Sonko celebrated Uhuru with a message that read:
"Happy belated birthday, my former buddy Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. It is written in the book of Mathew 5:43. "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
"I celebrate the former President H.E Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. May the Good Lord give him good health and a long life as he celebrates his 62nd birthday". Sonko wrote.
The politician who fell out with the retired president in the final days of his reign as Nairobi Governor struck a reconciliatory tone, asking for forgiveness.
"Happy birthday, my brother, and may your additional year bring you happiness. May God forgive me for the insults, unkind words, and anything I have said to provoke you in revenge. I have also forgiven you for all the wrongdoings and persecution. May you live long. God bless you and your family," Sonko prayed.
The former governor went ahead and revealed he had also gifted him with a cake and card, in addition to the drinks.
Uhuru turned 62 years old on October 26, with different celebrations across the country, despite his absence on the scene.
