Mr Musyoka’s claim that his critics were inconsequential to his presidential bid elicited angry reactions from Governors Alfred Mutua (Machakos), Charity Ngilu (Kitui) and Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni).
Dr Mutua said he won the Machakos gubernatorial seat twice without Mr Musyoka’s backing.
Prof Kibwana says he helped the Wiper boss mend fences with leaders he was not on talking terms with in the run-up to the 2017 elections.
Governors from Ukambani yesterday reacted angrily to an assertion by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka that their support was of little political consequence.
In an interview with the Nation at the weekend, Mr Musyoka said he was used to the growing opposition to his leadership in the region.
