The Revolution (Episode 3)
Rabiat wakes up normally at six; nothing could change his wake up time. He had
been involved in many activities since his return to the country from exile. A
lot of things had been happening around him. He wouldn’t have thought of the
possibility of contending for the position of the president of one of the
largest black countries at such a time.
But the youths wanted him; he was ready to serve them. If only to get them off the misery were they were facing, in a country with so much resource but left in the hands of very few.
He was aware that many of those in the corridor of power didn’t like him because of his stand on anti-corruption. Corruption was the root of the country’s problem, and he stands for everything that fights corruption. He had gone on exile over threats to his life, but now he is back and was ready to contest the presidential election.
Unlike Maikudi with so much millions, really know knows how much Maikudi was worth, but he has just a few hundred of thousands in his account. He believes that leadership should not be about stashing funds away into foreign accounts. It beats his imagination why people have turned so-called evil genius into a god. It was time to get rid of people like Maikudi and his cohorts from the polity. He was determined to be the president.
He took is chaplet and went to his prayer room where he did his Morning Prayer. He remembers the words of his ‘Alfa’ a Muslim prophet who told him not to attend the independent day anniversary ceremony. He won’t be attending it but will watch the live telecast from his house.
