On May 22, 2020, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko sparked a social media frenzy when he commented on a photo of singer Tanasha Donna on Instagram.
Donna, a mother of one, was posing in a blue ensemble, consisting of a matching long-sleeved top and miniskirt.
Sonko's comment, which featured the bomb emoji, was met with a barrage of witty responses from netizens, with many interpreting his comment as a compliment.
Some of the responses included:
- “hyo bomb ni ya nini bro?” asked Mustapha_ibrahim_hussein.
- “Mheshimiwa kumbe ata wewe uko hapa,she is truly a bomb,” said alicaldashiku.
- “Na utambi yako utawazena na hii mali kweli bazuu,” wrote Sammy.
- “I was alive when this happened,” commented fei_djar.
- “Governor acha tamaa toka apa,” stated 6ix9ine_africa.
- “Eish Governor yuko huku,” remarked thereal_africana.
- “unacheki ustadh sonko pale quarantines imemfikisha…😂😂asantaaa!!! mr Governor kindly tupe za okwonkwo,” said lula_abdille.
It remains to be seen whether Sonko's comment was intended as a genuine compliment or just a lighthearted joke.
