Kenyans Online Reject Makueni Governor Kibwana’s Plan to Retire from Politics, Vow to Make Him Kenya's 5th President

Kenyans on social media have rejected Makueni Governor Prof. Kivutha Kibwana's plans to retire from politics.

In a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, the second time Governor hinted at hanging his political boots once his term expires in 2022.

"Public life is a life of service; it is missionary work. In Makueni we listen to one another so that we can build consensus on how we want to develop. I enjoy sitting, talking and walking with our people. When I leave public life, I will dearly miss this aspect of my public political life," the Wiper party Governor captioned a photo where he's freely interacting with his constituents.

Kenyan social media users however urged the Governor not to retire and vowed to make him the country's next President.

We are going to make you the President of the Republic of Kenya upende usipende. Ikishindikana we will amend the Constitution so that you serve as Governor for life."

Gikonyo Kelvin noted: "Bwana Governor, I know you plan to retire from active politics at the end of this term but can we do this social experiment please, announce your candidature for presidency, make sure your name is on the ballot papers then go home and rest. Don't even campaign. I'm trying to see something."

Senan Kanana commented: "Leave and go where? When we need you most. If you are leaving, we all are coming to camp at your home. Rule us from there we don't care. Long live Kibwana."
