A SENIOR GOVERNMENT official unintentionally revealed that prominent figures from his home region persistently seek favours from him since he joined government. Speaking at a village meeting, he expressed frustration over local leaders frequently pestering him for tenders and contracts. Stressing his duty to serve the entire nation, he admitted receiving more requests than he can satisfy. The functionary highlighted the pressure officials face from their communities, telling those close to him how tough it is to commit to impartial governance.
A SECOND-TERM MP is under fire for allegedly neglecting constituents and rarely attending parliamentary sessions. Critics accuse him of unfairly allocating NG-CDF funds. At a recent school event, residents supposedly booed him while cheering an academic eyeing his seat in 2027. It is alleged that the MP, once arrested over a mining dispute, struggles with low approval ratings despite hailing from the governor’s constituency. The challenger’s rise has intensified public resentment against him, signaling a tough re-election battle in 2027.
