Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has made history after joining TikTok – one of the fastest-growing social media platforms.

With only 6 videos, Governor Sakaja has managed to accumulate over 237K followers within 48 hours of joining the platform.

The videos have also attracted over 600K likes and a cross-check on his page shows that he only faces one person and that’s his social media manager called Mbaka W.

Sakaja’s debut video on TikTok has so far accumulated over 3.1 million views.

“Hi I’m finally on TikTok, and this is my actual page.

"So let me know what to do next I’m new on the streets. Karibuni,” Sakaja says in his first video," he said.

In his next video, Sakaja gave an update on how generous TikTokers were in terms of teaching him how to navigate the platform.

‘The Tips are coming in first, nitashika tu, Thank you,”

I see everyone I’m following, that’s Mbaka, my social media manager, ndio ameniingiza kwa hii ya TikTok, follow her as well,”.

Sakaja was able to gain over 64K followers and he was happy; “Day 1, 64K followers, and I think I will enjoy this, Finishing up in the office before I go home. Asante sana,”.

On Twitter, Sakaja enjoys a following of over 1.5 million people. On Instagram, he has over 230K people following his account while on Facebook he has over 700K followers.

Just like his other social media pages, Sakaja is planning on using his page to engage with the Youth as he tries to address the challenges they face as Nairobians.

Sakaja has now joined Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga who is known for using TikTok to address issues affecting the people he represents.

“I discovered that there is a new awakening and appreciation of Tiktok. One is able to engage one on one with many people. We have had very informative discussions on TikTok live,”

“Some Nyeri residents have brought many concerns to my attention on TikTok which at times I am able to solve their problems right there by engaging third parties,” he said.
