Mohammed Ali Jicho pevu ends Saidoo winning calculations in Nyali politics 2017

Reasons you should vote Mohammed Ali as Nyali MP

On hearing the name Nyali, the thought that comes to many is that the residents consist of the rich and moneyed. Though a good percentage of population in Nyali are the rich, a big number consist of Mombasa’s poor. Kongowea is such place in Nyali where middle and low-income level people stay. Other places in Nyali which host the low-cost residents include Bombolulu, Kadzandani, Mkomani, Bakarani, Bamburi Mtambo & Ziwa la Ng'ombe. Nyali represents a society where the rich and poor peacefully co-exist. But the poor's numerical strength is bigger than the rich in Nyali. The decision lies with the poor, and not the rich.

Now, a rich man cannot represent the poor effectively, especially if he/she was born rich. A good leader needs to be empathetic of his people’s needs, having gone through the same and understands what the people need. It is for this among many other reasons that Nyali constituency requires a leader who has risen through the ranks, from poverty to capacity, who has made it through experience and can relate well with the poor and rich of Nyali, and bridge the existing gap between the two groups of people.

Mohammed Ali is the right man for Nyali. Let me tell you why.

Moha, as he is popularly known, is a perfect story of grace to grass. He hustled through childhood to his youth, from a poor background to a hustler living in Mtopanga, who never accepted failure as a result. He also lived in Majengo, Guraya and Ganjoni as he struggled with life in Mombasa. He has worked as a casual coffee barister with Starbucks coffee in Saudi Arabia during is long hustles in life. He loved sports, cherished making friends and capitalized on his speech prowess to make inroads into places less reached by youths his age. Moha worked 9 months at Pwani fm, without pay. But he worked still. He later got a job as a reporter & presenter with Radio Salaam, where he impacted on lives of many with his sports program and the investigative features that unearthed corrupt dealings in Coast municipalities and parastatals. Through is investigative features, he was able to stop or at least reduce the levels of looting of public funds and resources by public servants in the port among other parastatals. He has done this to date, magnifying it to the whole country having got a job at a national broadcaster to enable him do so. Moha detested corruption from when he was young.

Moha loves the youth. A youth himself, he relates very well with the youth of Nyali. He knows the story of youths, relates well with the plight of youths and has a heart willing to help youths rise from disadvantaged positions to better positions in life. He knows a youth needs education, a job, security, a house and a decent life. Given a chance, Moha can ensure of that for the youths he represents. You know how? He shall ensure resources trickle down to the last person. I know he can, for he loves to do that. He abhors corruption; he loves to see youths and women thrive.
All Moha wants is a country where everyman is equal in the eyes of the Lord. He believes all men are equal and deserves equality in the share of public resources. Unfortunately, the government which should facilitate that equality does the exact opposite, creating a wide gap between the poor and the rich. Moha will not rest until the government of the killer regime jubilee is out of power and Raila becomes the president.
Moha knows that women give birth to us, and raise us up. He respects women for the toils they go through to ensure their families are raised in a proper manner. And he wouldn’t want to see a woman suffer. I have seen him stop by the road side to help a woman cross the road. I have seen him buy unga for all women in the plot he stayed in. I have seen him treat women with respect they deserve. He is the best bet for women in Kongowea, Freretown. He is the best person to represent women of Maweni, Mkomani and Kadzandani. For he understands their plight.

Moha is the best man for Nyali through ODM party. ODM is widely followed in Mombasa and Coast generally, and Moha has the party’s ideals at heart. He loves ODM. He loves CORD. Moha is the best man Raila has for Nyali. He shares the same ideologies as ODMs party leader of fighting for people’s rights. His resolve to fight corruption has put him at loggerheads with the government, the same place Raila strolls. They sing the same tune when it comes to governance. Given a chance, Moha can play a pivotal role in CORD. He can be a perfect replacement for Ababu Namwamba.

His challengers for the Nyali seat ride on the backs of their relatives in high places. They are people out of touch with reality on the ground. One is a cousin to the governor Ali Hassan Joho and hopes to capitalize on his cousin’s successes in politics. Saido has thrived on illegal Port deals to create wealth that he is ready to use in his campaign at the expense of port workers and the port as a whole. He uses his gang of 10 rowdy youths to threaten and bully his competitors and whoever is against his flimsy ambition that cannot see light of day. Question is, can he share the same podium with his brother Ali hassan joho in Mombasa and the country at large? Hell no! He is a faceless man who can't garner votes for Governor Ali Hassan Joho and Raila Amollo Odinga. Mohammed Ali aka Jicho Pevu is better suited for that. He has a face and a brand to sell Raila and Joho. He is the voice of the voiceless. He has every single Kenyan behind him. They love him to death. The other one, Ashraf Bayusuf, is a reject of the family. He mismanaged his father’s business. His family is angry with him for mismanagement of multi-million shillings business. He can’t therefore purport to be able to lead a constituency if he couldn’t manage a business.
ODM should therefore conduct its nomination with lots of credibility and focus on a win. Direct nomination to kins of who-is-who in the party will only do more harm than good to the party, like it did with Kajembe & co. Shambled nominations would also be costly to the party. That is why we call for a free and fair nomination process; and we believe Moha will floor all his competitors due to his +ve ideologies for the people of Nyali, and the manifesto he stands for. A credible nomination will mean a credible outcome of election.
It is upon us as Nyali residents to make the right, informed decision about who we elect our MP. But we can’t do this if we aren’t registered voters. Get your IDs, go and get yourselves registered in the IEBC offices and wait to cast your vote to the right leader. Vote Moha, vote hope and prosperity.
