My son,
This is Pappay. I have been calling you without success. I know you must have been very busy at work. I hope I did not disturb you.
My son, ehn you see what happened in Freetown ? Politics is not good in our country O. They finish removing the Chief Minister. You see what I have been advising you about politics ? When you get a political appointment , never take it as your personal property . I always say this, my son. Politics is very unpredictable and political appointments are not permanent. That is why when you have these positions you must fight not to have any bad name in the execution of your duties. You can be fired any time.
Who expected Maada Bio to demote his third most powerful acolyte after his wife ? Nar bin dis man, Bio and his wife who run our country. It was the man who was supervising him when he was doing the PH.D course he abandoned at Bradford and when they came to State House, he was his errand boy . He used his own Professor as his errand boy.
According to the Africanist Press this was the man beside himself and his wife whom he gave total access to the national treasury—The Consolidate Fund, to take millions of dollars at will to do the president’s dirty job abroad and at home. This man was so powerful the Vice-President was under his command. My son, politics is not good O. Maada just used the man. After e make de man get bad name, e don pull am.
And let me tell you something, my son. Learn this from me. If anybody tells you that presidents don’t listen to the public , it is a lie. I am sure the president was not happy about the bad publicity this Chief Minister was generating as an ayampee. E go tay den bin Dey call the man TIFF MINISTER. But de only thing e bin Dey tiff for him en de president.
But you see again what I have been telling you too ? Some of our African leaders are very unserious. They do not fire people who do wrong ; they just recycle them. Who would have expected Maada Bio, after sacking his Chief Minister, to appoint him next as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation ? That is why people are saying that dis particular president nor serious at all. Maada Bio unserious O. Make God save we.
Now, he has removed that Nabila woman from there , causing women empowerment activists to start complaining , but una nor worry. E go gee am other top job soon. Somtem nar ambassador e go make am sef. You know say e nor dey sack . E just dey recycle E demote in one whole Professor.
Anyway, make an nor take you time. I just wanted you to know how I felt. Enty you know say you nar one of the man dem wey ah kin blow mind to. I am at home You mama just cook sweet sweet pumpkin stew with crabs and fish which I am just about to enjoy.
Please return my call when you get home. Keep the faith. I love you.
Pappay ( Pa. Kabs )
