Ex-senior official depressed after failing to get reappointed

******************

A former high-ranking state official who had hoped for reappointment is now reportedly depressed. He is said to have been planning to finish a major project in the village and start preparing for a prominent political seat in future. The recent nominations apparently came as a shock, forcing him to disconnect all his phone lines. Sources indicate that he has arranged a foreign trip and has instructed his personal assistants to remain alert for any updates from the appointing authority.

A chief officer from a county in the coastal region in charge of a critical resource has become the laughing stock. The man came under heavy criticism from his superiors for a big mess in his office, which they reportedly blamed on his poor performance despite styling himself as a perfectionist. To deflect the blame and shame, the man wrote a letter to his boss blaming his staff, but made things worse by sending it to everyone in his department. As if this was not enough he also copied the governor, leaving people to question why he had to involve him yet he is not party to it.

A personality recently affected in a party leadership change is sinking in stress. Why? The man had reportedly dipped himself in financial commitments and loans, some of which are falling due. But the sudden change means that his privileges are all gone, including leverages that he exerted on key dockets to get tenders. His associates are urging him to quickly accept his new state and renegotiate the terms of the debts or seek help of a therapist before it's too late.
