DID A SENIOR politico pull off one of the slickest political stunts of the year during a recent football bonanza in town?
Well, word has it that a senior opposition figure reportedly quietly orchestrated the masterstroke by securing a large batch of tickets for the high-profile sporting activity and supposedly handed them to politically charged youths who are anti-establishment with instructions to ex- press loud displeasure with senior government officials expected at the big event.
Corridors has learnt organisers and security teams are now allegedly answering difficult questions on how they did not have a clue of the plan, despite questionable ticket purchases, where a few phone numbers could buy more than 50 access tickets.

THE RELATIVELY NEW CEO of a state
corporation that’s not new to controversy has
reportedly taken to shielding himself under
the cover of religion, following cracking of the
whip by his seniors over a tender allegedly won
fairly but denied to grant a Johnny-come-la- tely a chance to harvest where he clearly had
not sown.
The grapevine has it the individual
celebrated with glee when a big man from his
community was deployed to the line ministry
under which the saga is playing out.
Those
who stick to the rules are, however, banking on
available paperwork to prove all is not well at
the corporation.

A LAWMAKER HAS allegedly left his hand- lers puzzled after deciding to sharply criticise
the governor.
The MP, who is no stranger
to controversy, reportedly launched strong
accusations against the county chief over
the weekend, catching everyone by surprise.
However, the legislator’s stance has not
been well received, especially considering he
previously made headlines for involvement in
grand corruption.
Some of his allies have alle- gedly been overheard murmuring that he has
exposed himself to criticism, given his past. It
is rumoured the outspoken lawmaker may be
eyeing the gubernatorial seat and is using his
criticism of the governor as a strategy to at- tract support.
However, many county residents
have purportedly dismissed his gubernatorial
ambitions as unrealistic, citing his character and
modest academic qualifications.

THE CEO OF a state corporation has re- portedly begun dropping application letters
for new job opportunities as his term nears its
end in the coming months.
Uncertain about
the renewal of his contract, the man is seeking
alternatives to avoid being caught off guard.
Sources whispered to Corridors of Power that
the ambitious official is particularly targeting
foreign companies.
He recently attended an
interview but was allegedly disqualified on a
technicality.
His superiors have been made
aware of his job hunt and are now purportedly
keeping a close watch to ensure he does not
misuse public resources before his anticipated
departure.
