A former governor is supposedly struggling to mount a parliamentary campaign ahead of the 2027 general election. Reports indicate he has allegedly run out of funds even before the official campaigns begin, leaving him unable to pay his aides and security detail for three months. Tensions escalated when a group of youths stoned his convoy, allegedly over unpaid handouts. His team’s desertion has left the ex-county boss in a precarious position, raising doubts about his ability to sustain the campaign and whether he will ultimately make it to the ballot.
