A previously vocal administrator who we recently told you had gone mum has once again sent fresh signals that he might as well abandon his ally in the opposition. The man has for weeks changed his tone in his comments on national politics, now calling for reasoning and patience. However, corridors understands that the man might have reportedly been threatened by the powers that be with a “file”, forcing him to take a step back. Already, a number of his colleagues are already in some sort of problems.

What could be brewing in one of the key political camps in the country? Questions are being asked regarding the organisation in the camp, after the key players in the team appear to be shooting from different angles. For instance, one of the key politician was badly embarrassed that despite the camp holding a joint meeting and a communication sent out that he would be accompanied by his political buddies, they were nowhere to be seen when it mattered most. Some of his allies now think he was set up so that he realizes he isn’t such big deal after all. Will the camp keep holding together? Only time will tell.

Is a top government official too occupied with election politics that he is forgetting his official duties? Well, some think so. The man is supposed to have convened a critical meeting with key stakeholders earlier this year , and actually met the representatives of the bigger team to organise the meeting. However, the official reportedly left them in dilemma as they haven’t heard from him since then. It is only recently that he big man picked the issue again and scheduled another meeting, which he cancelled indefinitely on its eve. The stakeholders are now left confused, not knowing whether to wait for another date or focus on other matters.

Corridors has learnt that a section of leaders in the administration are seemingly questioning the political value of some top officials who were appointed to senior positions in government. However, their political capital is reportedly not being felt as they are almost mum even on programmes in their line dockets. One official was overheard saying that the appointees are playing safe as they also plot for their political comebacks in their regions. This, however, the official said, is at the expense of the appointing authority, who needs as many hands as possible at this critical period.
