DID A GOVERNOR from one of the country’s restive regions pay a secret night visit to a senior political heavyweight? Reports suggest that the county boss allegedly drove himself—without his aides or top officials—to the home of the influential leader, fearing for his political future ahead of the 2027 election. During the meeting held at the political figure’s rural home, the governor arrived with headlights off and was received only by the host. In an effort to maintain secrecy, some of the political heavyweight’s aides were sent away just minutes before the visit. Speculation is now rife that the governor may soon announce his departure from his current political camp as he realigns himself for the 2027 election.
