It was like seeing an eagle strolling on the street<br>
Despite the hundreds of letters we sent to your desk<br>
Are you really the people’s choice?”
<p>“Definitely yes, I must say<br>
I’m very easy to come by and I know their needs<br>
For that, they voted me into power<br>
They see me on their TV sets daily<br>
And my voice They hear on their radio”</p>
<p>“But your impact they say, isn’t felt<br>
They regret listening to your flattery<br>
Majority are of the opinion<br>
That you weren’t their choice.”<br>
“But how come you came into power?”<!--more--></p>
<p>“It is the Lord’s doing that I won<br>
And as for my homework, I did.”<br>
“Posted my Posters all over villages and cities<br>
And mobilized millions during my campaigns.”</p>
<p>“If I may ask sir<br>
And moreover the people want to know<br>
For the past four years or so<br>
Have any project been completed?”</p>
<p>“Numerous and uncountable<br>
Even the blind can see for themselves<br>
And the deaf have heard of my good works.”<br>
” My opponents are just at their best<br>
Tarnishing my image and reputation.”</p>
<p>“You go about with heavily armed bodyguards<br>
And series of exotic armoured cars as escorts<br>
While the life of the ordinary man is at risk<br>
Like strayed chicks, their lives have become<br>
Vulnerable to preys.”</p>
<p>“There’s something you journalists don’t know<br>
If my enemies succeed in claiming my life<br>
Who will rule over my people and protect my family?”<br>
“I’m a property of the government<br>
And shouldn’t be treated with contempt.”</p>
<p>“I think the people are fed up with your regime<br>
Since there’s nothing worth showing for<br>
The roads have eroded like topsoil<br>
Schools constantly on strike<br>
Hospitals are dilapidated<br>
Flood everywhere and people are dying of hunger<br>
Your cabinet have been infiltrated<br>
Justice have been kidnapped<br>
Truth paralysed<br>
Corruption flourishing and blooming.”<br>
“Your promises have not been kept.”<br>
“Do you still see yourself as the man for the job?”</p>
<p>“Whether they like it or not<br>
My good works will speak for me<br>
It wasn’t a fault of mine that God sent rain to wash away those solid roads<br>
Or, that those facilities have been misused.”<br>
“But as for me, everything and anything will be done<br>
For me to retain this post.”</p>
