A Metaphor is a tool in literature used by writers or poets to draw comparison between incomparable objects, things and events. For example, Governor Ali Hassan Joho is the Elephant.
While other governors have fallen by the way side, have failed to rise, missed to seize opportunity to provide leadership, display skills, plan and strategies like military general willing to down the invisible enemy, Joho has not only acted like an Elephant, he is actually an Elephant. The qualities he has shown, if all governors were likened to an animal, which other animals could you liken the remaining 46 governors?
Have you ever worked on Shakespeare’s literature or a mathematical equation that you really had to remember in order to pass an exam? Then your memory, memory is all that makes the difference. Elephants have organisational skills, memory, sense of friendliness and they easily sense if you are nice or nasty.
That not being enough, Elephants have large brains and they show a lot of empathy. They are considered smart for several reasons: they break off sticks with their trunks, have incredible memories, and seem to be capable of empathy.
Ali Hassan Joho, has demonstrated that he is the Elephant among the 47 governors, the body, the brains and the mind he has stands out and has placed him way above his counterparts. His work at the coast to contain the pandemic has caught the eyes of the head of state who invited him to Nairobi state house, to brief him on latest developments.
That was yesterday as the head of state invited him to use his presidential microphone to address the nation. And without disappointing, governor 001 spoke like a true leader who understands the needs of the people.
His words were few but powerful, objective and factual and today he went he held a meeting with the Cs for internal security and government coordination, Mr Fred Matiangi. And after the meeting, the mombasa governor was flown back to Mombasa using the presidential Airforce.
This move has caused a buzz in political circles. Many are wondering, how did Ali Hassan Joho win the heart of the president. The other day, the Embakasi mp, Babu Owino, was widely heard or quoted in various social media platform issuing a warning to governor 001 not to outshine the former premier, the ODM boss.
Going by public support, Ali Hassan Joho has done extremely very well more than his ODM boss and more than all other governors especially those from ODM strong holds. Many Kenyans have approved his track record and today, governor Joho has a high social, approval and rating among Kenyans across the country. What does this mean the ODM governor? How will he use this rating moving into the future?
His achievements are huge like an Elephant among his peers.
