Speaking moments after joining the Tanga Tanga political wing, Njoroge asked his supporters tp pray for him as he transits to the next phase.
“There is time for everything, as the good book of the Lord says, and as I transition to the next phase of my life, I ask for your prayers and support,” Njoroge wrote on his official Facebook page after joining Ruto’s camp.
Njoroge joins a long list of media personalities who have expressed their desire to vie for various political seats in the upcoming General Election.
