A political aide is said to be supposedly enjoying his boss’s prominence a little too much, leaving electorates wondering who is actually running the show. Sources say the aide has allegedly taken to answering calls and responding to texts meant for the boss the way he wants and sometimes offering unnecessary explanations. The behaviour has now irritated some senior officials, who feel the aide is crossing the line. One insider quipped that the next time the politician attends a function, he should be taken to task to explain whether he is still interested with his job or not.

At the same time, the officer is said to be purportedly protesting the unfettered powers and access given to a former state operative at the assignment they were handling.

A deepening rift is emerging within a prominent political formation, with frustration mounting over what one side seemingly views as deliberate exclusion from key decisions. At the heart of the dispute is the failure to meaningfully engage a key figure in party affairs, raising questions about internal democracy and the institution’s future direction. The disagreement has reportedly been compounded by concerns over the management of resources, with claims that the funds have been possibly fully depleted without adequate consultation or satisfactory explanations to all concerned.
