Nairobi governor Mike Sonko on Monday treated Nairobians to a breakdance shortly before delivering his inauguration speech.

Governor Sonko had been invited to take the podium by his deputy Polycarp Igathe, but decided to pull off a hilarious breakdance move before hugging Igathe.

The two have made it a norm lately to pull off breakdance moves at public functions.
