Mutua noted that despite the separation with his wife, he still believes in love and youths should also not give up on love.

He added that everyone should have a good relationship with each person that comes into their lives.

“I’m a believer in love and I believe that you need to never give up on love, regards of what… and always celebrate the people coming to your life. Always have a relationship with everybody who is coming into your life that is amicable, a relationship of friendliness,” the Governor said.

Through her Instagram page, Nganga noted that she decided to end her long-term relationship with Governor two months ago.

"The only constant in life is change and we must be present and aware to appreciate and embrace it. Winds of change blew my way and two months ago, I decided to end the long term relationship with Dr Alfred Mutua. We had a good run and I am forever grateful to God he brought us together. We remain friends," part of her statement read.

Reacting to the announcement, Governor Mutua confirmed that they had agreed to separate and end their relationship but will remain a close advisor.

"There is a song by Roger Whittaker that has the line: “the first time we said hello, we started to say goodbye. Lillian and I have been a blessing to each other. Two months ago, we decided to slowly disengage. We are in amicable terms and remain very close as friends. We will continue to talk, meet and share ideas constantly. Lillian has been an excellent First Lady and even though she will do some projects under the Lillian Nganga foundation, we have agreed she can continue with her county projects," said Mutua.
