Disquiet has gripped some politicians from a cosmopolitan area. Reason? They had mobilised their constituents for a meeting with a senior political figure under the promise of a handsome reward once they delivered their part of the deal. However, days after fulfilling their end of the bargain, the politicians are yet to receive what they were promised. Attempts to reach out to the influential figure have proved futile. His phone calls go unanswered, and his handlers appear unbothered. Could they have been played? That is the troubling question the politicians are now asking as they continue pressing for an audience with the man.
