THE WIFE OF a senior politico has turned into a prayer warrior after her attempts to make the husband change for the better allegedly hit a snag.
The man, currently in his second term, has several mistresses and he hardly stays in his rural residence.
We are told he travels to the city frequently where he camps in the house of one of them purporting to be handling serious county matters.
The spouse recently posted a video on her social media page that reportedly left a lot to be desired.
She hopes her prayers will be answered and that one day her man will become “responsible”.

A SENIOR STATE official who is targeted for dismissal over his close association with a former prominent individual has allegedly pulled the tribal card.
He has told those who care to listen that whipping the emotions of his community that they are being targeted is the only way he will be saved.
It appears his tactic of shuttling offices to meet his tribesmen who have the ears of the big man have failed.
The official, who is hardly a year in office, has even gone slow on his job and no longer updates on social media, an indication of how stressed he is.
Those in the know say it’s a matter of time before he is fired.

WHO IS THIS Cabinet secretary who is so elusive that even his communication team struggles to work with him?
The influential official consistently avoids journalists who schedule interviews, reportedly never answering calls and often sending a generic message saying he is “busy and will get back shortly.”
In some cases, he directs urgent matters to his PS instead.
No one knows why he avoids the camera, as there has never been a valid reason for his unavailability.
Maybe it is time he is called out.

THEY SAY BAD habits die hard. A politico who was close to a former CS and had the alleged habit of using that access to walk around at funerals with key documents is getting impatient with the new CS.
The new CS has not allowed the man, who also hails from the same ethnic community as him, the unfettered access he had with the old guy.
The politico also allegedly wants the freedom to be given the key documents and opportunities to hawk in funerals even as 2027 beckons. If you have any tips send them to
