#FLASHBACK (13 YEARS AGO)
LOCATION: GOVERNMENT HOUSE (GOVERNOR’S OFFICE)
“You dare resist and counteract my orders and commands; I bet you will lose your post and position as the governor of this state.”
The senator echoed with some kind of husky voice as he moved horizontally with his pot-belle stomach clearing way for him, he moves toward the Governor’s chair as he was looking at the chair
with some kind of wicked and disdainful looks on his face.
“Am not hijacking your authority sir, what am just trying to insinuate is that we haven’t pay the State and Local Government workers their salary for the past six month, though am I just elected but I know the pains they are passing through, there are commotion in every outskirt of this state, weak people are starving, the civil servants are uproaring, the health workers had went on strike, the markets women are not selling because there is no money to buy their goods, many citizen are in debts, the teachers are threatening to go on strike, the power supply of this state is more than woeful, there is no water supply in every area of the outskirt of this state, the road is quite bad and it needs repair to suppress road accident and so many more things this State Government has to do but they turn blind eyes to it. Sir, the allocation this State received from the Federal Government last month, you and your co-senator embezzle the money into your own personal accounts, thank God that this month allocation came through the president himself, you would have embezzle it like you did in the last month, sir the allocation for this month is the money I planned to use to pay the worker’s salary and that is what am trying to explain to you that you should pity the poor
people we were are governing…” Governor John was trying to
explain when the senator barged in his statement.
“What is your own problem with the poor citizens, they are meant to rot in poverty till death, are they not the one that sold their votes because of the little amount of money or other little things we do for them during campaign? Beside I see no reason why you must be worrying about those riffraff, ragtag and nuisance since you and your entire family are enjoying and you are living in merriment, what is your own with their woeful life?” Senator Jeff tagged as he sat on the visitor couch facing the governor’s chair.
“The good citizen do not sold their votes because of just material things like money, food and clothes, we politician promised them that we would meet all their needs and we would be fair and incorrupt in ruling the affair of the state in which they believed us, they believe we can do it, they fall for our sugar-coasted mouth not knowing that most of the politician nowadays are just lies and animal in human flesh, that is why they votes for us as their leader and representative,
“I bet you will not live to enjoy the rest of your life as you stated earlier. {hiss}, it seems you don’t know me.” Senator Jeff expressed as he stand up ready to leave.
” I know you. A animal in human flesh! A corrupt politician, an embezzler. Sir, must we be wicked to those people who are loyal to us? We are also human being, don’t let us be living like a fish, it is only a fish that kill its fellow fish to survive. Let be trustworthy and stop living a fake life to the citizen.” Governor John concluded.
Senator Jeff was so irritated, he was so annoyed and upset, he
feel embarrassed, he stood up from the couch as he angrily barge out from the governor’s office.
“I bet you will not live to enjoy the rest of your life as you stated
earlier. {hiss}, it seems you don’t know me.” Senator Jeff
bragged.
“I knew you, you are an animal in human flesh, you are a corrupt politician, you are callous and wicked to those people that place their believed in you, must we politicians be wicked to those people that are loyal and diligent to us? Sir, please let us be reasoning like a human being and not an animal.” Governor John lashes.
Senator Jeff was shocked, irritated and embarrassed, his annoyance boomed with a shocking expression showing on his face, he angrily walked out of the Governor’s Office

#CLARA_CONTINUES
Few days later after the word of war between My father {Governor
John} and Senator Jeff, some armed robbers or let say kidnappers
broke into the Government house, all thanks goes to those insiders Senator Jeff has planted in the Government house after they broke into the Government House around 11:30pm on that dull night, they respectively took to their role in the mission as planned, some of those armed robbers broke into the Governor’s building, they eliminated all the securities securing the governor and his family, they gun down all the securities with the help of their silence pistols gun they are handling.
*********
I was with my father (Governor John) inside his room; we were chatting, gisting and discussing. I happen to be his first child and the only girl of my family, I love staying with my father and that inspired me those memorable days I had with my lovely family, I happen to be at the age of twelve years old then. The armed robbers or maybe I should addressed them as kidnappers; they reluctantly barged into the Governor’s bedroom, they were all masked and they were handling different types of gun like silence pistols, AK 47, Rocket and bazooka, they were five in number that were assigned to accomplished the mission in the governor’s bedroom.
“All of you lie down flat.” A robber echoed as he pointed his gun directly to my head.
“My Governor!” Don the head of the team of armed robbers uttered with a very serene voice as he was trying to unmasked himself.
“Who are you please?” My father asked with a shaky voice.
“I am you doom, am the destruction you caused on yourself, I am here to skin you alive, I am assigned to kill you hundred time before your death.” Don, the head of the armed robbers lashed with some kind of husky voice.
“Please what can I do for you in specific, please spare my life and that of my family.” My father restated with a beseeching expression.
“My Governor!” Don mentioned laughingly as he paused.
“Si…r!” My father answered stammering.
“My Governor!!” Don restated as he shows some wicked kind of expressions.
“Am all hear sir.” My father retorted with a shaky voice.
“Governor John Adewole!” Don named him fully as he drawled
closely to him.
“Yes sir.” My father drawled beseeching.
“Don’t lie o, I hate lying o, you know anybody that is lying will later end up been a…” Don uttered as he faces his crew to complete his statement.
“Thief!” his human dynamo replied in chorus.
“So I advise you to be sincere with me and I will also be nice with you and I will acknowledge all the respect you deserve as this State Governor. The Federal Government paid this state its allocation for this month, the amount of the money is Eight Hundred and Fifty Nine Million, Eight Hundred and Ninety Two Thousand, Two hundred and Forty Four Naira and Thirty Kobo (#859,892,244.3
My father was baffled and bemused, he was so confused on how the veteran armed robbers got the information so genuine and correct like that, he was shocked and dumbfounded, even the robbers knew the figure of the amount in spoken even till the last kobo and the time he received the alert for the money this make him confused and more disturbed, he has no reason to lie or defense the robbers statement since he was already exposed.
“You’re wholly correct sir, but what really happen now is that the money in spoken is not here in this government house, I planned to withdraw the money tomorrow and use it to settle the necessary debts this state is owning his masses and the money we owned the world bank…” My father replied shockingly with a sad expression.
“I knew the money is not here, it was still lying comfortably in the state account, but my coming here is to acknowledge you that we the owner of the money are intact, because I knew that the money will be paid to different firms in order to settle the worker salaries and clearing of this state debts.
But I will keep this your beautiful and lovely girl in substitute for the money, when you pay us the cool cash we will release your only daughter to you.” Don lashes as he held my hand firmly.
“Sir.. Please don’t do this.” My father uttered beseeching.
“And if you don’t love your daughter you can inform the reporters and the policemen that your daughter was kidnapped that mean you can’t live to see your daughter alive but you will definitely see her corpse.” Don concluded as he dropped a note on my father bedroom, he dragged me to follow him as his animators follow him.
The note he dropped informed my father the location he will
amass me and the mobile number of the leader of the team.
