MP cries foul after ‘big man’ snubs constituency in last-minute no-show

A VISIBLY AGITATED MP has turned his guns on powerful figures in his party’s inner circle, allegedly accusing them of orchestrating a big man’s last-minute snub of his constituency during a recent visit. The lawmaker, who had gone all out to prepare for the highly anticipated visit, is said to have mobilised hundreds of locals, coordinated leaders and even oversaw last-minute infrastructure touch-ups. Word had spread fast, drawing residents from far and wide, some arriving as early as dawn. By late afternoon, it became painfully clear that the big boss would not be making the stop. The MP is seemingly now said to be privately fuming, blaming unnamed senior party operatives for deliberately interfering with the programme to undermine his political standing.
