Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has responded to former Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho who, over the weekend, decided to school him on the art of whistling.
As anyone may know, whistling is not everyone's trade - you need to know how to curve the lips, summon the air, project the tune and conjure the perfect whistle before letting it all out.
A little earlier, Tiktoker Priscilla wa Imani, (in) famous for her shrill public whistles, grabbed the attention of the media-savvy Nairobi Governor after she publicly requested to meet him.
In response, Sakaja took to his TikTok page and requested Priscilla to meet him in his City Hall offices. Obviously, he threw in a couple awkward whistles just for good measure.
The whistling exchange immediately captured the internet and videos of the two whistling at each other boomeranged across Kenyan TikTok.
Not one to be left out in a fun online game, the former Mombasa Governor, jumped in the fray and decided to take Sakaja back to school on matters whistling.
"(whistling) My brother Sakaja, kuja nikufundishe kupiga mbinja. Sio (attempts feeble whistle) ni (let's out a full-on whistle), kuja kuja Bro," Joho said elatedly.
In no time, Sakaja, who appeared to have all the time in the world (it was Sunday, duh) replied with his own much-improved whistling techniques.
"Governor Ali Hassan Joho, your excellency, nimeona video yako. Nimeskia umekuwa kwa hizi streets za Tiktok since 2010... You have 340 followers. I came last week Bro, na nishaakupita. Pia wewe kuja na Priscilla wa Njambi (sic) City Hall, niwafunze, Monday ama Tuesday Bro, show you how we do it. Move over, “he said, laughing.
Priscilla Waimani's whistling antics have seen her walk in offices and meet faces she could only dream of just a week ago.
After all is said and done, can you whistle?
