A POLITICO IS reportedly
worried after learning that he may not, after all, be at the core of a big man’s game plan. Word is
that the biggie has told the fellow to up his game or watch newbies take the
space he’s dominated for years. A recent test run is said to have accelerated
the individual’s misfortunes. A narrative coined to save face on the dismal
show also reportedly flopped. The man is reportedly now worried that a junior
he had once dismissed could just take over his place.

A LAWMAKER IS likely
to retain his seat following high-level negotiations to guarantee a popular
outfit’s victory in an intense gubernatorial race. Corridors of Power is
apprised that the lawmaker has been supposedly approached to consider
shelving his ambitions for a candidate perceived to be more popular. Word is
that the lawmaker has kept the emissaries guessing and has maintained they are
in the race to stay. So high are the stakes that the man may as well be denied the ticket, or even forced to forgo his
current seat entirely.

A COUNTY BOSS is
reeling from a stunning setback after missing out on a coveted top party
position he had aggressively pursued. The governor had reportedly mounted an
intense lobbying campaign within the party’s top ranks, exuding confidence that
the slot was firmly within his grasp. So certain was he of his elevation that
preparations for a grand celebration at his rural home were already underway.
But in a dramatic turn of events, the anticipated party seat slipped through
his fingers, supposedly leaving his camp in shock and his political calculations
in disarray.

TALK IS RIFE of an
unsettling situation in a political outfit following the decision by one of the
key players to sit on the fence amid a crisis. A group of lawmakers was overheard
discussing how the official’s stance is reportedly making members
uncomfortable. They hold that the position the individual occupies requires a
clear-cut stance. They wish a meeting would be called for them “to put the
officer where they belong”. The said officer has allegedly adopted a ‘no-hear,
no-see’ approach to a prevailing matter that affects the outfit’s 2027
calculus.
