The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13 at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania has sucked the oxygen from the debate on President Joe Biden’s fitness for a second term. The discussion will resurface, but Democrats should forget it. The party is stuck with Biden.

4th of August, 2011 was a Thursday. I had gone to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to see the SGF on the directive of my benefactor, Sen. Ken Nnamani. Before I was ushered in to see the SGF, his then secretary, whom everybody called ‘Auty Kate’ on hearing my name said to me, “I have a letter for you”. I walked up to her table and she opened a big notebook and asked me to sign an acknowledgement for the letter. I did and she handed me a fat brown envelope. In a hurry I tore it open. Lo and behold it was my letter of appointment as Special Assistant to the President in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. As I was gazing at the letter with my mouth open, a young man, who I later got to know was the Chief Security Officer to the SGF, Peter Afunanya, opened the door to the office of the SGF. My boss, our boss, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim briefed me on what my responsibilities would be.

Early in July 2005, just a week before Prof. Wole Soyinka turned 71, my boss and mentor, Dapo Olorunyomi, recalled me to Lagos from Port Harcourt, where I was serving as the Regional Media Researcher for Freedom House. Freedom House was founded in 1941 by Eleanor Roosevelt and some other persons. It is America’s oldest non-profit NGO founded to promote and defend democracy and freedom all over the world through the instrumentalities of advocacy, monitoring, and research. Dapo was the Director of Freedom House Nigeria Project, the only one of such in sub-Saharan Africa.
