A big man at a lucrative state agency is worried about his tenure. The honcho, who always carries himself around as powerful, got a shocker of his life recently after a top government official allegedly denied him audience. The big man is reported to have sought to see the top gun but was informed at the gates that the other official was not ready for his visit. He reportedly ate a humble pie and returned to his office where word followed him that it could be a matter of time before his stay at the agency was reviewed.

A politico from Western has become the talk of his town over his alleged extreme love for the bottle and associated pleasures. The man is reported to carry his favourite poison to any destination he is heading to, whether for work or leisure. Some of his critics whispered to Corridors of Power that the man repeatedly 'recharges' at every available opportunity, a habit he justifies as meant to help him beat the cold weather. Observers say that could be the reason for the man's thoughtless choice of words when addressing gatherings.
