One other person who also mourned the late Fuad Muhammad Twalib Rudeiny is the current Kilifi County Governor Gideon Mung’aro.
The county boss infact took to his Instagram account and penned a long message, where he revealed that the late man was his close friend.
Gideon Mung’aro also remembered how the late Fuad Muhammad used to work as a deputy mayor in Malindi and a councilor of Shela many years ago.
“Nimepata taarifa ya kuaga kwa rafiki yangu, kwa ndugu yangu Fuad Muhammad Twalib Rudeiny kwa masikitiko makubwa sana.
Fuad tuliyefahamiana tangu miaka ya tisini, aliwahi kuhudumu kama Naibu Meya wa mji wa Malindi na vile vile kama Diwani wa Shela kwa awamu tatu, na alikuwa kiongozi aliyejitolea kwa moyo wake wote kuhudumia wananchi.
Kwa familia, nawaombea Mungu awatie nguvu katika kipindi hiki kigumu na roho yake aiweke mahali pema penye wema.
Inna lillahi wa Inna ilahyi raji^un 🙏” he wrote.
