Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Thursday, May 18 celebrated his adopted son, Gift Osinya, on his 22nd birthday.
Osinya, who was adopted by the then-Nairobi Senator in 2014, is currently a second-year student at Scott’s Christian University.
“You have really grown very fast and now a 2nd-year student at Scott’s Christian University.
“However, 10 years ago a big number of my critics thought I was just playing PR with you and your younger brother Baby Satrin whom you rescued from a hail of bullets from the Al-Shabab terrorists who had shot dead your late Mum,” Sonko wrote on his Twitter account.
Sonko describes Osinya as gift
He added: “I can remember very vividly your moment of tears during the first difficult days you joined us as a family.
“Today I tell the rest of the world that the devil is a liar for God wiped your tears with abundant happiness and love. Gift Osinya you are a gift of blessing as part of our family, may you be gifted with life’s biggest joy.
“Today is again a moment of great joy and a big milestone for us as a family to celebrate your 22nd birthday. I pray that the God of Daniel, Meshack, and Abednego who saved your life, and that of your younger brother, walks with you at all times. Happy birthday to you.”
