Is a politician pulling PR stunts with his flurry of tours across his constituency following the deadly protests of Gen Z? It is said the MP has been stage-managing public events across the constituency to prove that he is popular despite voting for the impugned Finance Bill, 2024. The legislator recently made short videos and uploaded them on his social media platforms to show how well he was received by his constituents during public engagements. He has been seen hugging and freely interacting with his constituents to prove the point that he is a darling of the people. Others say he fears “greetings” from the Gen Zs but puts on a brave face.

A top chief executive officer at a strategic ministry is worried about her job amid looming changes. Corridors of Power is apprised that the executive has purportedly been making frantic calls after powers that be allegedly exposed a plan to kick her out. One of the political linchpins from her backyard is reportedly pushing her out to create a vacancy for his relative. The officer has pleaded with politicians from the region to fight back but they are worried that with the Gen Z "greetings", they might run into trouble. A recent audit report exposed irregularities in the use of public funds under the watch of the embattled executive. The big man is latching on to the report,among other cliams, to push her out of the agency.
