A section of Mombasa leaders have rallied behind Governor Abdulswamad Nassir following his recent confirmation as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Deputy Party Leader, using the occasion to endorse his leadership and call for his re-election.

The leaders spoke during the commissioning of the Owino Uhuru Road in Jomvu, a project they described as a major milestone for residents who have long struggled with poor infrastructure.

Bofu Ward MCA Manuari Juma congratulated the Governor on his new party role, terming it a vote of confidence in his leadership.

“We congratulate Governor Nassir for his confirmation as ODM Deputy Leader. This is a clear indication of trust and faith in his leadership,” said Manuari.

Miritini MCA Kibwana Swaleh praised the Governor’s development track record, insisting he deserves another term in office.

“Governor Nassir, you truly deserve another term. You have proven this through your work,” he said.

Mombasa Woman Representative aspirant Amina Abdallah urged residents to remain united behind the Governor, dismissing criticism from his opponents.

“We are firmly behind Governor Abdulswamad Nassir and we will ensure that he gets back to office for a second term. We have seen his work. Let us not listen to critics and naysayers,” she stated.

Jomvu MP Badi Twalib highlighted the significance of the newly commissioned road, noting that it has transformed the lives of local residents.

“Governor Nassir is a trusted leader who has always stood with his people. The construction of this road is a true testament. The people here have never seen a road, but the Governor has made it possible,” said Badi.

He also reiterated his support for the Governor’s re-election and leadership within ODM.

“We would like to congratulate him for being confirmed as the ODM Deputy Party Leader. We have faith in his leadership. He is a two-term Governor, and we will stand with him. We will go where he tells us to go,” he added.

Nominated MCA Mwaka Bakari echoed the sentiments, noting that while the Governor has delivered on key promises, more still needs to be done.

“Our Governor has delivered some of his promises and needs another chance to continue with his agenda,” she said.

The commissioning of the Owino Uhuru Road marks a significant step in improving infrastructure in Jomvu, with leaders expressing optimism that more development projects will follow under Governor Nassir’s leadership.
