Sonko said they are only backing the ODM leader because of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has fired back at ODM leader Raila Odinga for criticising his charity project dubbed Sonko Rescue Team.

Speaking to a group of Eastleigh Businessmen on Tuesday, Raila took a swipe at Sonko saying his rescue team is not a project a governor of the city can run to change the lives of the people.'

Raila suggested that the governor of a City has to plan how to implement development projects that can change the lives of the people.

The remarks have not augured well with Sonko who has hit back at him saying his project has helped so many people including those who back him for the presidency.
