Episode 10
I sent my report yo the relevant press outlets denying that the Governor had anything to do with the debt, trying to point the blame at the Commissioner OF Finance for not planning well.
My write-up was so good, the story had started to die down. Nigerians do not care for a solution to a problem, they just want to know who’s at fault.
Alhaji Rauf had called me, telling me I had done a good job, fixing a meeting with me at 9pm that night. I thought, it was time to feed jola from his own plate. I cleared my table, doing a lot of paperwork just to clear my head. Men! They can be so deceitful, only when a woman is so FOOLISH to trust them. I was foolish, not anymore.
I saw Jola at the end of the day. He was smiling and playing with the other staffs as he usually does when office hours were over. They thought he was their friend who was about to represent them in Senate. Poor Fools, If only they could see beyond the Smokescreen and note that Jola was just using them to campaign.
Our eyes met, he waved at me, telling me to have a nice day. I hissed, “I am going to have a nice night,Fool” I muttered.
