Twitter Reactions: Social Media Explodes with Opinions
As soon as news of Governor Sakaja’s no-show broke, X users were quick to weigh in. The platform was flooded with reactions, with some accusing Sakaja of abandoning his duties, while others praised him for staying out of a politically charged situation.
@KenyanPatriot254 tweeted: “Sakaja skipped Gachagua’s impeachment hearing? Wow. Looks like the governor is playing it smart by not getting involved in this mess. Politics is a survival game.”
@NairobianInChief criticized Sakaja, saying: “This is not leadership! Governor Sakaja should have been there. Nairobians voted for accountability, and skipping such an important event shows a lack of commitment.”@PoliticalObserverKE speculated: “Maybe Sakaja is trying to keep his hands clean. With so much heat on Gachagua, it’s understandable that Sakaja wouldn’t want to be part of the fallout.”
@Wanjiku_Watchdog tweeted: “Before we jump to conclusions, let’s remember Sakaja has a city to run. Nairobi has its own issues, and the governor can’t be everywhere.”@CitizenForTruth posted: “Whether it’s political or personal, Sakaja should explain why he missed such a significant hearing. Transparency is key if he wants to keep public trust.”
