Showdown looms as state honcho, ex-MP fight over woman

THE CORRIDORS ARE abuzz with whispers of a brewing love duel pitting a powerful state agency MD against a former MP. At the heart of the storm is a woman stationed in the MD’s office, now the unwilling muse of competing affections. Insiders murmur that both men are apparently eager to claim her as a second wife. The MD, though already bound to a wife in his village home, is said to be pulling all the stops to win her hand. The former MP, however—who has a child with the lady—is not backing down quietly. Word has it he is spoiling for a fight, even hatching plans to storm her office for a dramatic and potentially explosive showdown.
