I got to my office, feeling distraught. I started calling my press contacts to know and find out who their source was. The first three I called wouldn’t talk saying they promised the source some anonymity.
I Was about calling the last one when Jumoke walked in. Jumoke works in the logistics section, one of the office gossips we had. I liked her, she always had genuine stories, just like she filters her gossip before serving it to you.
“I heard Stephanie Okoli is leading the nominations for Chief Of Staff, and that Jola rooted for her”.
Normally, I would ask Jumoke questions and will be thrilled by the answers she will give, but Jola again, I was boiling.
“Please, Jumoke, I am busy, maybe we talk later, Shows yourself out”. I said, looking dead serious.
She gave me that “Na Jealousy go kill you” look and walked out of my office without saying anything. I wanted to know why Jola was acting this way and if he was planning something but I couldn’t call him. At least, not during office hours except it was something serious.
“Whitney Johnson, on the line, Press Secretary to Lagos State Governor office” I called the last press outlet contact I had, I persuaded the man on the other side, promising him I would give him an interview with the Governor about the debt scandal. It seemed to get to him as he said he would tell me, but it shouldn’t be traced back to him.
“Ok, I promise, just tell me thank you” I said
“Jola Edwards, The Chief Of Staff abi” The man said
My phone fell from my hands.
