The policemen handcuffed me as they commanded me to follow them, I looks into the eyes of Mrs. Chioma but all I could see was my hatred, I looks into that of Chinendu and Chiamaka but I saw the same hatred as that of their mother, lastly, I looks into the eyes of Obinna but all I could see there was a ranging disappointment, I burst out in tears as I gently follows the policemen into their Toyota Hilux Car.

“Hmmmmm, your story is quite emotional but it was very interesting, you really try o and you have really suffer, I pray you live to enjoy the fruit of your patient and suffering.” A prisoner who I knew her to be Clara by name sympathized with me as she cuddles me to console me.

“My own storyline on how I ended up here as a prisoner is also quite interesting and emotional, my dear readers…“ Clara paused as she wiped out the tears that are circulating from her eyes with the edge of her prisoner cloth.

“Here is my own storyline.” Clara begins

#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, so tell me sir, what is now the essence of the fake promises we made to the guiltless citizen that believe in us, the promises we are capable of fulfilling but we refuse to stick to our words. And as for the draft that you just stated that my family and I are enjoying what concerns me with the hungry citizens.

Why must I enjoy my own life when the people am governing are in abject poverty, when the civil servants that are working diligently and loyally are sleeping at night without eating suppers. Sir, I think we that we called our self government we are already rich enough to life our own life, we shouldn’t be using our post and position to suppress the people we are governing. Sir we are in the world of democracy and democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people, we are also once citizen so we should also be considerate to those innocent citizens. Sir in conclusion this allocation that came into the pocket of this state government will be used settle the workers’ salaries and wages.” Governor John expressed with a relieved looks.

“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.
