Olum’s social life and alleged demands for bribes from those out to do business at the county is at the centre os discussion. The MCAs tore into Seme MCA Aggrey Ogosi calling him a traitor. The MCAs had been accused of contempt of court. The MCAs traded bitter accusations claiming that some of them were traitors.
