The immediate past Representative of Enone is demanding that he should be allowed to continue to award and execute all projects in the 2023 Appropriation Act for the Federal Constituency as a reward for his electoral support for the incumbent.
The incumbent on the other hand in his characteristics generous disposition and protruded humility appealed to the former member to shift ground and take only 50% of the demand.
This clearly did not go down well with the former legislator who believed that the incumbent is bound to kowtow to him, therefore frowned at the adjustment that the siting member made to his demands and as a result started boasting of how he single handedly gave the new federal lawmaker victory at the poll.
Obviously frustrated by the turn of things, the incumbent responded with a lengthy SMS (which is already in the public domain) to the ousted legislator reminding him that his alleged support for him at the poll was not in good faith but for monetary benefit which he reluctantly complied with owing to pressures from stakeholders.
Attached is a screen shot of the SMS where the incumbent respectfully agreed to partner with the former on a 50/50 percent basis as regard the 2023 projects and the preceding lengthy SMS after the out gone legislator went on a boasting expedition.
