Governor flees to remote resort as MCAs stoke fires at home

WHO IS THIS governor who has been mysteriously holed up in a secluded well-known resort for the past week? Word from impeccable insiders is that he quietly slipped in with only a lean circle of trusted advisers for what they call a “sensitive budget clean-up.” His sudden retreat has raised eyebrows back home, especially amid murmurs that the county assembly is finalising a hard-hitting report on a string of stalled flagship projects. Those who know the governor’s style say the secrecy is unusual. Phones were allegedly surrendered at the entrance, and staff instructed not to record anything.
