City MP giving Governor sleepless nights

The rising popularity of a city MP in his rural home and county is giving a deputy Governor and his team sleepless nights.

In the past one month, the youthful MP who is eyeing the gubernatorial seat has visited the region, with two top influential national leaders who seem to have a soft spot for him.

Strategists of the Deputy county chief, fear the city lawmaker will complicate the political arithmetic for the man they work with, who they hoped will easily inherit the seat from his boss whose mandatory two terms comes to an end in 2022.

The group is now scratching their heads on what to do to stop the MP from ascending to power.
