Mvita Mp Abdulswamad Nassir on Saturday got a boost in his quest to succeed Hassan Joho as Mombasa Governor after Jomvu Mp Badi Twalib endorsed him for the seat.

Speaking during a funds drive for the Mikindani brotherhood riders boda boda association, Twalib noted that Nassir is the only candidate fit for the job.

"We will stand with you my brother, just relax, you are in safe hands. As the people of Jomvu we are not going to let you down" said Twalib.

Adding " Jomvu has it's owner and I'm the owner so let no one tell you otherwise, we are behind you".

Twalib argued that it is time for Nassir to be rewarded for his loyalty to ODM party.

Twalib charged "Jomvu is an ODM zone and that is a fact ,those going round trying to sell other parties are just lost. As ODM members  it is now our time to reward you as a loyal member ."

The Mp further lauded governor Joho's recent statement that he will not endorse anyone for the job noting that the electorates will decide who will be there next governor.

On his part Nassir who was present at the function insisted that he is not seeking Joho's endorsement calling on his rivals to also not expect an endorsement from the county chief.

"I would like to congratulate my brother Joho for making it clear that he will endorse no one for the seat. As for me all I need from him is just his vote and not endorsement. To my opponents lets meet on the ground and at the ballot, stop being desperate for endorsement and using your close links to the governor as endorsement." said Nassir.

Nassir further stated that he will work with all leaders from the count when elected as the governor.
