PART 27
“I AM PRESIDENT MAMUD”
©Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde
“ I am doing this video not because I don’t love my husband but because I fear what he may do to anyone around him.. Our President, My Husband is Sick. He is mentally unstable. Running away from home has always been his thing, so running away from his seat as the president is not a surprise to me…
He went out with our daughter over two weeks ago and he never returned with her again. He claimed she had been kidnapped from him… I tried showing him my fury as a woman, but the look I saw on his face told me I was in danger as well… I left the house with my daughter and luckily for me, Mr Hidoko, a family friend from way back in the Fifth State has been of help… I advise that the country of Nirato moves ahead, should President Mamud returns or shows up suddenly, he should not be allowed to lead this nation again…
Mamud, in case you are watching this, for the sake of the Love we share, step down as the President of this nation, so your life can be preserved. I have always had your best interest at heart…..” The video was abruptly stopped as the Presenter continued
“That was the viral video released by the First Lady… “The presenter was saying
Ashkian and Bereto were watching the clip on National T.V. Ashkian hit his fist on the wall…
“Hidoko is a son of a gun… Cheap way… Using the wife against him…!”
“I won’t call it cheap, I call it smart, because who knows a man better than his wife… “Bereto replied
“Game over Dad, Hidoko has won… The Vice President is going to be the president, While Hidoko becomes Vice President.”
“Now, I have a feeling Hidoko is responsible for the President’s disappearance…!”
“Father! Slow down!”
“No Bereto!, if you cannot become the Vice President, I will make sure Mamud returns to his office! “
Bereto looked at his father strangely…
“Is my father now on Mamud’s side?” Bereto questioned silently
*************
Isire kept on crying. She couldn’t believe she betrayed her husband. She was given no choice. It was either she did that or Minaya would die…
“So what would be my end in all of this?” Isire asked Hidoko after watching the video on T.V .
Hidoko had forced her to do the video, after taking Minaya away. It was either the video or Minaya. He had taken away her phone.
“Once Mamud is off the seat, The Vice President becomes the President and I become the Vice President… Then you have a choice, you marry me and live a good life or you return to your miserable husband who obviously will not accept you back…!” Hidoko said wickedly…
**************
Yenewa had told a friend to send her a photo of President Mamud and his family. She wanted to show it to Holey. She was hoping Holey was not Sebrena.
She paced around the living room as Sebrena played with a toy Yenewa had requested someone buy for her…
Tuley was her friend who worked in the outskirts. She wasn’t visually impaired. They spoke mostly over the phone because of distance.
Tuley had sent the Family picture of the First Family to Yenewa. “Hey Holey! Come over here…. I have something to show you…!” Yenewa cautiously gave her the picture not knowing what was there…
“A friend sent it to me… Can you tell me what it is…”
“it’s a pictur…..!” Sebrena said but she paused …
“Ok… Do you know the people in the picture….”
“No… !” Sebrena answered
******************
“Hello Noell, I need you to investigate someone urgently. Find out if Hidoko and the First Lady had a thing together in the past…” Ashkian said over the phone
