Twenty Twenty hitmaker Justina Syokau song congratulating President-Elect William Ruto dubbed “Pongezi Rais Ruto” has attracted backlash from some of her followers.
The song praises President-Elect William Ruto’s win in the concluded general election and notes that he won through prayers.
“Sio Juju ni Maombi,Tumeona Mkono wa Bwana,Tumepata Rais Wa Tano hapa Kenya Mungu amejibu maombi, Pongezi Rais Wetu Ruto, Uongozi Mungu amekupatia,” a part of the song goes.
Some of her followers accused her of jumping ship from Azimio la Umoja to supporting Kenya Kwanza despite campaigning for Azimio during the general elections.
Others noted that instead of singing for Ruto she should have recognized the leaders from Ukambani who also delivered votes to both sides of the coalition.
These are some of the reactions from her followers.
