Paranoid MP won’t shake hands of rival

Does a lawmaker believe in black magic? Could he be practicing black magic? These are the questions most of his supporters are asking themselves after the MP started exhibiting strange mannerisms in public. 

For weeks now, the MP who is doing his first term in office has resorted to publicly snubbing all individuals said to be eyeing his seat. 

In all the meetings he has attended, the leader politely ignores hands outstretched to him and only shakes his head to acknowledge greetings.

Some of his foot-soldiers whispered to The Grapevine that the legislator does not shake the hands of his opponents, for fear that they maybe laced with juju.

"Not everyone is a good person, mheshimiwa has to take precaution because some of his bitter rivals may be out to eliminate him," one of his handlers defended his action. Talk of paranoia of the unknown!
