A CONTROVERSIAL LAWMAKER known for his confrontational politics has drastically slowed down his engagements, including parliamentary duties. The man, who has been running roughshod on his peers and sponsoring party on weighty national issues, is no longer attending even committee sittings and has been a no-show in House proceedings. Some of his colleagues were at the weekend overheard pondering loudly what could have gone wrong with their colleague, who they claim no longer picks calls even from close friends.

JUST AS THE jostling for the 2027 election is gaining momentum, a fly on the wall of a famous address whispers that the presidential field could be crowded to ensure as many votes as possible are split. We are told many politicos are being egged on to run to diminish the strength of the anti-regime vote and shore up its reelection chances. Some may get help from unconventional sources to achieve the objective. With the viral perception that the current administration is weak and can easily be felled at the ballot, many contenders will likely fall for the trap. They say history does not repeat itself, it rhymes.

A TOP HONCHO of a lucrative parastatal has devised a new strategy as he fights to have his tenure renewed. The chief, whose tenure ends next year, has embarked on a push to have his main challenger in the race appointed to a bigger job in the high ranks of government. The endgame, Corridors of Power is apprised, is to have his way cleared. It is said the outgoing chief has spent a fortune to lobby for the big job in favour of his perceived challenger at the moneyed parastatal.

STILL ON PARASTATAL chiefs, a leader of a water agency has been boasting about how well he is connected to the who-is-who in government after a survey named his entity as the worst performing in the sector. The big man openly says he is in good books with a top government official, while dismissing the survey as an exercise in futility. The man has been talking big and bragging that his job is safe and that only death can separate him from the office.
