The relationship between a governor from one of the city counties and the deputy has continued to deteriorate, despite attempts to reconcile the two. In a recent meeting,
tension between the two was seemingly evident through their actions, gestures and even their handshake. The situation escalated recently, when the deputy was reportedly linked to an opposition figure. Those in the know say the accusation came as a surprise to the deputy, who says there is no reason or interest for him to align with any opposition leader as it would obviously work against his politics. Instead, the man says the real issue at hand is differences in county tenders and how affairs are generally run.
