“The young man threatened that he can even be paid by a neighbouring governor and other politicians within the county so it was only logical he be relieved of his duties,” the source revealed.
In unverified WhatsApp chats, the now-fired county employee could be seen asking for payment from his employer.
He argued that he had risked a lot to campaign for the current administration and as such, he needed financial reimbursement as a form of appreciation.
Further, another text bragged how he was a chief propagandist for the administration and was ready to offer his services to another party.
“We appreciate your past contributions and wish you well in your future endeavours,” he was told.
