Why Christina Shusho left her matrimonial home
Expressing her thoughts, Shusho emphasised her commitment to authenticity and truthfulness.
She revealed that her decision to leave stemmed from a dream she had, which she believed was a divine assignment she needed to pursue wholeheartedly.
"For me, acha niongee tu roho safi. naomba watakaofuarilia na wafuatilie na waamini huyu ndio mimi. I have never been fake, and I don't lie. The truth is, it's just an assignment. There is nothing different other than that. The assignment God has given me this season cannot allow me to stay where I was. I had to leave to go fulfill the assignment," she said.
