Assalamu alaikum
Amin waalaikumu Salam replied alhaji ahmadu from the sitting room. The visitor turned out to be his old friend alhaji Sadiq
Welcome, alhaji Sadiq aw was the journey?
Fine, thank you, replied alhaji Sadiq. After exchanging handshakes, alhaji ahmadu led his visitor to the sitting room
How is your family, alhaji?
They are fine, thank you and yours?
They're all right. The other day I phone your office, I was told by ur secretary that uh were out of town, said alhaji ahmadu.
Yeah I was. You know the nature of our job, always moving up and down. I was in bida for three days: you remember the project I told you I was undertaking at home?
Yes I remembered. How was it?
I'm really concentrating on it now. I want to be completed latest before the year runs out. One day, I believe, we must all go back home; after all, it's said that there's no place like home
That's true agreed by alh ahmadu. That's equally my intention. Immediately I retired from service I will go back home and live with my people
By now, I think you should be clocking thirty years in service? Asked alh Sadiq
Yes. This is my twenty eight years in service. That notwithstanding, with my current position, I have reached the peak.
You're right, agreed alh Sadiq. You're already a permanent secretary. If not a political appointment, what would you aspire again?
I'm just waiting for few more years before I tender my letter of retirement.then I can either settle for farming or politics
I think you can do well in politics, said alh Sadiq
Is that wot uh think? But military intervention discourages people from participating in politics!
That's true alhaji. The interregnum is actually undermining the consolidation of democracy in Nigeria, particularly after the overthrow of the first republic observed alh Sadiq
So, you see wot am saying, alh Sadiq? But let's put all our wishes and desire in the hands of the creature. He's the only one that can forecast the future with certainty.
