Sitting governor sad as sitting Cs vows to bankroll rival campaign

Is a Jubilee governor’s extended celebrations after a top state official failed to resign to challenge him for the seat angered the official? The man, a senior government official, was highly expected to tender his resignation and plunge into politics but failed to do so.

The decision immediately sparked celebrations by the governor who had considered him his main challenger for the job.

However, the continued revelry has angered the official to the extent that he is said to be considering sponsoring a candidate to face the governor.

Insiders say he has approached some influential MPs to go for the county’s top job, promising to bankroll them, but none has given in.
