Governor’s love for the brown bottle causes harm to county image

A state functionary is reportedly distraught after a modus operandi he had eyed to make political inroads took a new turn. The individual had allegedly banked on the activities that fell under his ambit to remain visible in the competitive political arena. Some insiders whispered to Corridors of Power that the fellow had put all his hopes on the drives that he led, only for the same to be pushed to another quarter. Talk of counting your chicks before they hatch.

A top political honcho in a formation facing divisions has supposedly downplayed the exit of some key members of their outfit as inconsequential. The fellow has reportedly told insiders to concentrate on the bigger goal rather than focus on the exits, which included politicians with close ties to an influential family. Panic has reportedly hit the camp as political meetings pick up, the central worry being whether they will pace up with the rest in the duel. The same has been made worse by looming changes in another political formation with a huge bearing on their activities.

A governor allegedly steering a storm in the county apparently has work cut out in bid to secure reelection. This is in the face of the administration’s secrets being spilt out by rivals eying the seat. Some politicians from the region were overheard murmuring how the contest between the county chief and an ally-turned-foe has now purportedly degenerated to who between them has a prettier face. It is still not known how far the contest will go as both politicians are aggressive and determined.

The communication unit of a flamboyant governor is frustrated by what they termed his alleged overzealousness to engage the media in live talk shows, either directly or through the phone. They supposedly whisper that their boss is sometimes not fit to engage in constructive debate, citing fears he may approach a set without his full guard. They fear the man’s apparent penchant for the brown bottle and other frothy substances is doing more harm than good to the devolved unit’s image. The team's dilemma is in settling on who will tell the county boss to be strategic when engaging the media.
