"I was the chair of CU in Form Two, which is rare because then you had to get to Form Four to be the chair. I used to do these 40-day fasts regularly, like Jesus, and it was a pure liquid fast. I became a different evangelist; then I was an evangelist of souls, now I am an evangelist of policies.

Did Itumbi get people saved?

Itumbi, who is currently writing a book dubbed, Pastor's moment, based on his experiences, also revealed that he used to preach and recalled getting people saved.

"We used to pray for people, that thing you know 'receive', and people fall. I used to do it. In high school, there was a place called Valley of Peace. After 40 days of fasting, you would get out of that place feeling on a high, revision would get in," he added.

According to Itumbi, had his path not been unveiled to what it currently is, he would have ended up being a preacher.

How did Itumbi respond to lady leaking their chats?

Elsewhere, Itumbi found himself on the receiving end after trying to defend President William Ruto amid anti-government protests in 2024.

He took to X to jump into the debate on who the financiers of the protests were, contrary to what people were saying.

He claimed that former chief justice Willy Mutunga, the International Justice Mission and Yash Pal Gai of Katiba Institute were behind the protests.

However, a female X user, Kesh, while responding to Itumbi's claims, leaked the messages he sent her, sparking reactions.

Netizens asked Kesh to share all the chats by Itumbi, forcing the digital strategist to respond.

Initially, he vowed to track who Kesh was, but he later threw in the towel and explained that he had in the past chased after girls because he was a single man.
